(Baonghean)According to a hotline report dated August 9, 2012, Nghe An Newspaper reported that residents of Thai Hoa town reported that from early morning until around 9:00 AM on August 7, dozens of public streetlights along National Highway 48, passing through Hoa Hieu and Kim Tan wards in Thai Hoa town, were switched on overnight and remained brightly lit until the next day…
Upon receiving this information, the Standing Committee of the Thai Hoa Town Party Committee directed the Hoa Hieu Ward People's Committee to investigate and clarify the matter. Based on the investigation, the Hoa Hieu Ward People's Committee issued Document No. 42/UBND dated August 10, 2012, in response to Nghe An Newspaper as follows:
Thai Hoa town has 4 wards and 6 communes, including 4 wards: Hoa Hieu, Long Son, Quang Tien, and Quang Phong; the town does not have a Kim Tan ward as mentioned in the report, but only the Kim Tan block belonging to Hoa Hieu ward.
Regarding the public lighting system along the roads within the ward, the Ward People's Committee stated that the system is automated and operates according to a specific plan, with coordination between the Urban Management Department of Thai Hoa Town, the Hoa Hieu Ward People's Committee, and specialized personnel. During operation, some roads experienced short circuits, fires, and equipment malfunctions as reported by the press. Therefore, on August 7, 2012, the Thai Hoa Town People's Committee established a team to inspect the current condition and carry out repairs. During that time, the team conducted electrical checks as required by technical standards.
Therefore, the information from readers regarding the streetlights in the ward being on during the day (August 7th) coincided with the time when the Town People's Committee was conducting technical inspections and surveys for repairs, and was not due to the local authorities turning on the lights during the day, leading to electricity waste as residents have complained and reminded.
