Content of the telegram:

On December 25, 2014, the Provincial People's Committee issued Official Dispatch No. 35/CD-UBND-NC on strengthening the clearance of encroachment on traffic safety corridors and urban sidewalks in the province. However, up to now, through monitoring in many localities, the implementation of the clearance of encroachment on traffic safety corridors and urban sidewalks has been slow and indecisive... so there is still the situation of encroachment on traffic safety corridors, roads, and sidewalks for selling goods, doing business, placing advertising signs... causing traffic congestion and the risk of traffic accidents. Typically, in Nghi Trung commune (Nghi Loc district), Dung town (Thanh Chuong district), Dien Chau town (Dien Chau district), people display goods encroaching on the sidewalk, placing many advertising signs encroaching on the road (published in Nghe An Newspaper No. 10117, published on January 14, 2015 and No. 10118, published on February 15, 2015); in the market areas in Vinh city and some localities, there is a situation of re-encroachment (using umbrellas and tarpaulins to encroach on the corridors for street vendors)...
