Hanoi (VNA) – Unnecessary festivals could
be cancelled during 2021 festive season amid the COVID-19 pandemic, said
Director of the Hanoi municipal Department of Culture and Sports To Van Dong on
January 6.
Organising boards of localities were asked to popularise values of traditional
customs and rituals, pandemic prevention and control measures, and limit the
organisation of large-scale events.
The city will establish an inter-sectoral group to
inspect festivals and launch the hotline 0869.295538 for public feedback.
Due to the pandemic, last year Hanoi only held 139
out of 1,206 festivals./.
