Provincial Leaders Listen to Reports on the Situation of Lunar New Year 2011

Provincial leaders are listening to reports on Tet holidays

According to Department of Trade and Industry, throughout the period before, during and after Tet holidays, it implemented cost control measures, inspection and market stability control quite seriously to meet local residents’ needs of essential goods.

No speculation, goods shortage, soaring prices and price increase occurred thanks to good supplies preparation and price stability measures.

In terms of assisting workers in going back home for Tet holidays and ensuring traffic safety during Lunar New Year days, Department of Traffic and Transportation said that 114 buses were rented to bring workers home safely for Tet holidays.

Up to now, more than 50 vehicles have arrived in Dong Nai.

In 2011, thanks to taking initiative to ask neighboring authorities to cooperate before Tet holidays, overload vehicle violations via Dong Nai went down quickly.

Only twenty one vehicles’ load had to be lowered and nine back-up vehicles were used.

However, February 6, in comparison with last year, traffic accident victims rose against last year mainly due to the railway accident that occurred on the Ghenh bridge in Bien Hoa city.

In addition, outpatients and inpatients grew higher than the previous years.

Other tasks such as bringing Tet holidays to workers and government policy beneficiaries were well done.

Recreational activities, overseas Vietnamese reception, power supply throughout the Lunar New Year were carefully and safely organized.

Addressing the meeting, Vice Chairman of Dong Nai Provincial People’s Committee Dinh Quoc Thai highly appreciated the efforts and initiative of sectors and local authorities to prepare for and to bring an economical, safe and quite happy Tet holidays to people in the province.

Also, Thai reminded departments, sectors and local authorities to draw experience from what they did not do well and quickly begin to perform tasks in 2011.
