(Baonghean.vn) -June is a month with many anniversaries of various sectors, and is also a month of action in many fields from family, children, clean water and environmental sanitation to the whole population fighting against drugs, etc. Therefore, eye-catching white, blue, and red banners are hung everywhere, on almost all main and secondary streets of the city.
It is known that hanging banners is an effective form of propaganda, but the density of hanging and the way of hanging incorrectly can sometimes have the opposite effect of the slogan. Recently, a banner about the environment day hanging on Ho Tung Mau street fell down on the road when two women were riding a motorbike. Luckily, after the steering wheel was shaken, the two women were able to keep their balance.
The fallen banner caused danger to traffic participants (photo taken at 2:00 p.m. on June 26, 2013).
Also recently, a slogan celebrating a holiday hung across Le Hong Phong Street, in front of the 113 Police Station, fell down and swayed in the wind, looking very offensive.
For banner hanging to be truly effective, those assigned the task need to carefully study the hanging location and method to make the banner effective, while ensuring aesthetics and safety for traffic participants.
