Da Nang People’s Committee has told construction companies to stop transporting building materials through the inner city during the lunar new year break.
Committee chairman Tran Van Minh said this was to stop the spreading of dust, dirt and rubble until the end of Tet on February 21.
The committee has also asked authorities to tell people to keep residential areas clean and avoid littering.
And it has spoken out against the old custom of ripping branches off any trees carrying buds on the first day of the new year and carrying them home to bring good luck.
The city’s Environment and Urban Company will not collect rubbish for the first three days of the lunar year, so all markets have been told to close before 8pm on Feb. 13, the final day of the year.
Pham Manh Thang, director of the company, said 1,150 dustmen and 66 cleaning trucks were ready to keep the streets clean and protect the environment during Tet.
“The company will launch three campaigns to sweep the streets and markets from7pm to 10pm on New Year’s eve and flower markets from 10 pm to 1am on Feb. 13,” Thang said.
Thang said the company would focus its cleaning on two areas where fireworks would be displayed to make sure the streets were kept spotless./.
