According to records, in this area, there are dozens of small traders stretching tarpaulins to sell food, drinks, street vendors, pushcarts and fruit stalls. Because it is located on Lenin Avenue with a large volume of traffic, encroachment on the sidewalk not only causes loss of urban beauty but also poses a potential risk of traffic accidents. It is known that in this area, Vinh City directed the Urban Order Management Team, Vinh City Police and Nghi Phu Commune to coordinate in clearing the area but has not yet completely handled it.

In fact, in recent times, the functional forces in Vinh City, with the core being the Urban Order Management Team, the Traffic Police - Order Team, Vinh City Police and wards and communes, have also organized many campaigns to clear sidewalks and roadsides at hospitals, and fined many traders for violations. However, in reality, the situation of re-occupation is still common on the streets and has not been thoroughly handled. Photo: QA |
