At the working session, the delegation praised the determination, praise, criticism and timely handling of Tan Ky district. In 2018, the district disciplined 6 commune-level civil servants with warnings for failing to complete the task of clearing violations of traffic safety corridors.

However, in some key areas such as towns, there has been re-encroachment, billboards are still placed perpendicular to the road right in the traffic safety corridor; after removing the fixed roofs, businesses and houses on the road are now covering them with umbrellas and tarpaulins, which spoil the aesthetic and block the view of traffic participants. At some points along the Ho Chi Minh trail, there are systems of pipes and drainage canals that are currently silted up.

The working group emphasized the need to handle responsibility for organizations and individuals who are not interested in clearing traffic safety corridors. Photo: D.C.

The delegation proposed that the District Traffic Safety Committee should continue to implement the clearance from now until the end of the year, assigning responsibility to mass organizations to do a good job of modeling self-managed, civilized, and exemplary roads. Coordinate with management units to resolve related issues on the Ho Chi Minh Trail, National Highway 48D, National Highway 48E, including reviewing and compiling statistics on cases that have not been compensated for site clearance, as well as cases that have been compensated but have not yet relocated or handed over the site... In addition, it is necessary to resolutely and strictly handle responsibilities for organizations and individuals who are not interested in carrying out this work.
