Vinh city residents indifferently change helmets
(Baonghean.vn) -The first two days of the helmet exchange program in Vinh City, the exchange points were quite deserted. Many people seemed indifferent, others stopped by to look at the helmets but did not want to exchange them for various reasons.
Mr. Nguyen Huu Bien, an officer of Hanoi Metro Company, the hat supplier for Nghe An province, sadly said that after the first day of changing hats, the entire Vinh city only changed hats.got 300 hats. At the exchange point at the Vinaconex vacant lot on Lenin Avenue, only 22 hats could be exchanged all day.
At the 4 helmet exchange locations in Vinh city, it is easy to see that the locations are quite deserted, the number of people coming to see and exchange helmets is sparse, sometimes there are even no customers at all. Mr. Truong Thanh Cau, a worker at Truong Son Construction Company, when he learned about the helmet exchange program through a banner, went to an empty lot on Le Nin Avenue to find out. After some consideration, Mr. Cau chose to buy a helmet for 220,000 VND, subsidized at 170,000 VND. "The helmets here seem quite sturdy, with better quality than helmets of the same price outside. This is truly a practical, meaningful program that needs to be implemented throughout the province," Mr. Cau confided.
Through surveys at hat exchange points, we found that many people are still concerned about the price and quality of subsidized hats. In the first 2 days of hat exchange, the supplier offered 5 types of hats with prices ranging from 100,000 to 500,000 VND depending on the type, but in general, people were not really excited.
Mr. Nguyen Huu Bien said that in the coming days, the supplier will continue to promote propaganda so that people understand the purpose and meaning of this helmet exchange.
Nghe An Newspaper reporter recorded images of the first days of changing helmets in Vinh City:
Vinh City has 4 helmet exchange points including:Cua Nam Flower Garden Park, Exhibition Area next to Ho Chi Minh Square on Truong Thi Street, Vacant land opposite 113 Police Center and Vacant land on Lenin Avenue.
Many hat exchange points are very deserted, sometimes even no one comes to watch.
Mr. Truong Thanh Cau, a worker at Truong Son Construction Company, considers the price before choosing a helmet.
After a while of searching, this man finally chose a hat that he liked.
Old, poor quality helmets are collected at exchange points. Many people, even though they exchange for new helmets, still do not return their old ones as required.
In general, the number of banners and slogans promoting the hat change is still small.
In the photo is a banner hanging hidden behind the trees on Lenin Avenue.
Right in front of the hat exchange point on the vacant lot on Lenin Avenue was a puddle of water, which was also located too far from the residential area. On the first day, only 22 hats were exchanged.
