The People's Committee of Hoan Kiem district has decided to close the infamous "Train Street" and revoke all the licenses for businesses that violated the safety corridor of the nearby railway.
To implement this decision, from September 15, the local police force has set up barricades on the entrances to Train Street, which is located in an area that runs along Tran Phu, Phung Hung, and Dien Bien Phu streets in Hoan Kiem district.
Local forces guard this area every day, from 7 am to 11 pm, and carry out the task of propagandizing and reminding people and foreign tourists not to come to this area.
Train Street has about 15 coffee shops. All the cafes here are dangerously close to the railway and it's busiest on weekends when lots of tourists gather here./.
