(Baonghean.vn) - At the end of the year, many streets in Nghe An are flooded with clearance goods. However, people need to be careful with these items to avoid "losing both money and health".

Walking around the streets of Nghe An at this time, it is not difficult to recognize the year-end clearance points that are displayed everywhere, attracting a large number of people.

To attract customers, companies and small traders often choose intersections, three-way intersections, and sidewalks of major roads as places to unload their goods. They only need to set up a small tarp to be able to "work". In the photo: Cheap pots and pans, only a few tens of thousands of dong, are displayed everywhere. Photo: Nguyen Chau

Children's toys and cheap household items are piled up for customers to choose from. Some items have their prices listed, but most of them do not have price tags. They are sold on a voluntary basis, and retailers even give away freebies because they want to "clear out all the stock as soon as possible." Photo: Nguyen Chau

Not only in the countryside but also in Vinh City, this situation is becoming more and more common, many streets are occupied as places to dump goods, causing urban disorder.

Nguyen Sy Sach Street, Vinh City is no exception. Taking advantage of the New Year holidays, small traders brazenly occupied the sidewalk to unload their goods. Photo: Nguyen Chau

On Hoang Thi Loan Street, Vinh City, cheap clothing is displayed on the sidewalk in a long row, but there is no functional force to check or handle it. The items are mainly warm clothes, imported from the South at a price much cheaper than the market price, ranging from 50,000 - 200,000 VND/item. Photo: Nguyen Chau

Because of the low price, the quality of the items is not guaranteed. Many types of clothes that are sold off often have defects in the sewing process, leading to unsold items and having to be liquidated. Photo: Nguyen Chau

Through discussion, the representative of the Vinh City Urban Order Management Team said: There is a situation of rampant dumping of goods on the streets at the end of the year. However, inspection and handling still face many difficulties because traders and stall owners often choose times outside of working hours when there is no force to dump goods. This not only causes traffic congestion and affects the urban beauty, but also affects the urban beauty, so the Urban Order Management Team will coordinate with the forces of wards and communes to increase patrols and handle this situation. For households occupying the roadway and sidewalk to dump goods, their vehicles and goods will be temporarily confiscated, and they will be administratively fined from 2 to 3 million VND. If they repeat the offense, the penalty will be increased. Photo: Nguyen Chau
