Nghe An is determined not to let the situation of 'kidnapping and abandoning the disk' happen, re-encroaching on traffic safety corridors.
(Baonghean.vn) - Based on the general direction of the Provincial People's Committee, currently, departments, branches and localities across the province are simultaneously launching inspections and handling violations of traffic safety corridors, ensuring public order and urban order in the area before, during and after the Lunar New Year 2024.
Launch simultaneously
Along with propaganda and mobilizing households to sign a commitment to voluntarily remove canopies and signs encroaching on the corridor and to commit not to re-encroach on the traffic safety corridor, forces in Tan Ky district have simultaneously launched operations to resolutely handle cases of intentional violations.

In Ky Son commune, Tan Ky district police coordinated with the commune People's Committee to mobilize vehicles and necessary conditions to carry out the clearance of traffic safety corridors along both sides of the road in the market area in the area, dismantling and confiscating 25 canopies and 13 billboards. With a similar approach, in Lat town, the forces dismantled and confiscated 15 billboards, umbrellas, and canopies; and in Ky Tan commune, the functional forces confiscated 12 billboards, cleared 5 km of traffic corridors along National Highways 48E and 15B, and mobilized 15 households to voluntarily dismantle encroachments on traffic safety corridors...
According to Lieutenant Colonel Cao Thanh Hai - Head of Tan Ky District Police: The campaign to clear the traffic safety corridor is implemented according to Plan No. 333 dated October 30, 2023 of Nghe An Provincial Police and Plan No. 210 dated November 15, 2023 of Tan Ky District People's Committee on launching a peak campaign to clear violations and prevent re-encroachment of traffic safety corridors in the area before, during and after the Lunar New Year of Giap Thin in 2024. Accordingly, localities in the area coordinate with the District Police, arrange human resources and means to clear violations, with the determination to return the corridor clear, not to let it be re-encroached.
In Vinh city, along with other wards and communes in the area, Nghi Phu commune authorities have thoroughly directed the work of clearing traffic safety corridors with the synchronous coordination of many forces. Present in front of the gate of Nghe An General Hospital - a "hot spot" of sidewalk encroachment, it is easy to see that there is no longer a chaotic, dirty situation due to vendors occupying the sidewalks as before. The canopies and kiosks after being cleared have returned the roadway and sidewalks to a clear state, ensuring traffic safety and urban order. As a result, in addition to the participation of Nghi Phu commune authorities, there is also the active coordination of the Department of Administrative Management of Social Order Police (Provincial Police), Vinh City Police, and the City Urban Order Management Team.
Mr. Pham Hoai Dung - an officer of the Vinh City Urban Order Management Team said: Because in the area opposite Nghe An General Hospital, there are many kiosks built quite solidly, so after dismantling and clearing, the authorities installed containers to block off illegal businesses. At the same time, they arranged forces and vehicles to be on duty in the areas in front of the gate and opposite the hospital 24/7 to ensure that small traders do not re-encroach after the clearance.
Do not let the situation of "kidnapping and abandoning the disk"
Talking to us, Mr. Phan Huy Chuong - Deputy Head of the Provincial Traffic Safety Committee said: Before the localities simultaneously launched the campaign, the Interdisciplinary Team inspected and evaluated the implementation of a number of measures to clear violations and prevent re-encroachment of road and railway traffic safety corridors at the district and commune levels according to Plan No. 36/KH-UBND of the People's Committee of Nghe An province in 2023.

For example, in Quynh Luu district, through inspection in Son Hai commune, the interdisciplinary team pointed out that families living along both sides of Son Hai bridge violated the road infrastructure, affecting traffic safety corridor. At Km4+500 to Km4+800, people poured concrete steps up and down, narrowing the roadway, and the roof encroached on the traffic corridor. In Quynh Ngoc commune, right in front of the People's Committee, the market still took place in the middle of the road, while there were many vehicles circulating, posing a potential risk of traffic accidents. In addition, at Km6+800, there was also a situation of sand and gravel trading encroaching on and destroying the road structure; at Km5+600, some households built walls on the outer edge of the longitudinal ditch, violating the road's land, affecting traffic safety. In addition, the situation of pouring concrete steps up and down, narrowing the roadway, and the roof encroaching on the roadway in Quynh Ngoc commune still occurred frequently. In Quynh Van commune, specifically at Km397+500 to Km398+500, there is still a situation of erecting signs, canopies, gathering materials (at households making dashboard bricks)... encroaching on road land, causing drainage ditches to collapse.
Also according to Mr. Phan Huy Chuong, on the basis of actual inspection, many situations and hot spots have been pointed out and oriented by the interdisciplinary team so that localities can plan to completely clear them as well as prevent re-encroachment in the long term. Specifically, the "hot spot" in front of the gate of the Provincial General Hospital, being on duty 24/24 is only a temporary measure, the fundamental solution is to arrange a new business location in the West of the hospital (back gate) to move all businesses in the front to the back to operate temporarily, to clear the chaos and congestion at the front gate, also creating a place for people to do business and trade, serving patients for examination...

On the police side, Colonel Tran Ngoc Tuan - Deputy Director of the Provincial Police Department said: To rectify the situation of violations and encroachment on traffic safety corridors, starting from November 30, 2023 to February 25, 2024, the police of all units and localities in the province will simultaneously take action. In addition to proactively advising the People's Committees at all levels to resolutely carry out the clearance of violations, the police of all units and localities also mobilized maximum forces and means to strictly handle violations. Especially those who resist law enforcement officers, disturb public order, and resolutely not let the situation of "kidnapping and abandoning the disk" happen, re-violation, and re-encroachment on traffic safety corridors.
