Addressing a meeting of the Government’s standing board on the situation during
the nine-day Tet holiday on February 11, the first working day after Tet, PM
Phuc also pointed to existing problems such as the still high number of traffic
accidents and the unlawful use of firecrackers, urging relevant agencies to do
their jobs better.
Minister-Chairman of the Government Office Mai Tien Dung delivered a report,
which said many enterprises, organizations and philanthropists had joined hands
to help the needy and those in disadvantaged circumstances have a happy Tet.
The holiday period saw high numbers of domestic and international tourists
during the period, the report said, adding that Vietnam was among the 13 great
places to celebrate the Lunar New Year as selected by the CNN.
It is noted that no food poisoning case was reported during Tet. The number of
traffic accidents in the period dropped by 1.6 percent from the same period
last year to 276, claiming the lives of 183, down 27.5 percent.
However, traffic rule violations were still rampant, and the setting off of
firecrackers, which has been banned, was reported in 13 localities nationwide.
The minister also reported that farmers started working in the fields as early
as the second day of the lunar year. As a result, winter-spring rice has been
planted in around 420,000 ha of land in the northern region, and the planting
of rice is slated to be completed by February 28. Meanwhile, southern
localities have completed the planting of rice, with 32,000 ha more put under rice
compared to the same period in 2018.
Mentioning tasks to be carried out after Tet, the government leader required
all ministries, localities and sectors to promptly resume work. He urged
tightening working rules and discipline, stressing that administrative agencies
must not organize trips to attend festivals or visits to pagodas during working
hours.
Ministries, sectors and local administrations should continue to reform working
style to fulfil the tasks set for this year with the best results, PM Phuc
said.
