Mr. Thinh said he was doing his duty and was reporting and reviewing the incident to report to the commune and district as directed.

Mr. Thinh said that with the desire to make the inter-commune road through Dien Ban market (Quang Dien commune) clear, he has reminded people many times.

"However, I have been reminded many times without success, so I have taken such action. As for the specific story, I have to get the approval of the commune leaders before I can inform them," Mr. Thinh explained.

On the morning of October 4, at Quang Dien market, encroachment on the sidewalk has decreased significantly. Vendors have moved to the sidewalk. The People's Committee of the commune has also used red paint to draw lines along the sidewalk to ensure that "people do not encroach on the line".

Ms. Giao, a fish seller caught on the river - the person who was kicked out of the fish bowl by Mr. Thinh, admitted that encroaching on the sidewalk was wrong.

"However, if Mr. Thinh had reminded us, we would have moved inside. He suddenly came and kicked the fish bowl, the scale flew far away, I didn't have time to react" - Ms. Giao recalled.

According to Ms. Giao, this is the "flood season" on the Krong Ana River, so people catch fish and shrimp and bring them to the market to sell.

There is no space in the market so people have to encroach on the roadside. I hope the commune will create some space in the market so that these small traders do not have to encroach on the roadside.

Meanwhile, another opinion at the market said that the officers' clearing of the sidewalks was right, but Mr. Thinh's actions were offensive.

"Just bring the car up and take all the illegal goods to be punished, why do you have to step on and kick the goods of the poor like that?" - said a resident.

At noon on October 4, the Chairman of the People's Committee and the Secretary of the Party Committee of Quang Dien commune were holding a meeting to discuss the socio-economic situation of the commune for the past 9 months, so reporters could not contact them.
