One day after the Hanoi People's Committee decided to tighten the issuance and use of travel papers, most people have understood the new regulations. They also know what types of documents they need to carry when going out of their home.
However, on the morning of August 10, many people haven't had the stamp from their local ward. The forces at checkpoints only remind those people to complete the documents and not issue any fines.
Around 7:30 a.m., it suddenly rained heavily. The rain makes it difficult to present and check travel documents. Due to a large number of people in traffic and the authority need to check many types of documents, there were congestions at some checkpoints.
Some people decided to wait and keep a good distance from the crowd. Although this checkpoint mobilized all forces to check documents, many people still expressed their concern when they saw the crowd waiting for inspection of their documents.
The rain and heavy traffic on some major roads such as Tran Duy Hung and Nguyen Chi Thanh streets caused the checkpoints here to "unlock" to avoid crowding./.
