Task Force 151 is assigned forces to organize patrols and controls both secretly and publicly, promptly preventing "street crimes" and strictly handling hooligans and thugs. Police in wards and communes in the area conduct screening and make lists of suspects, those who show signs of using motorbikes without license plates or covering license plates, weaving and swerving on traffic routes...

Strengthen fire prevention

To ensure safety in fire prevention and fighting, Hai Duong City Police have coordinated with the Fire Prevention and Fighting and Rescue Police Department (Hai Duong Provincial Police) to develop plans and scenarios for handling and responding to fire, explosion, incidents and accidents on the walking street and night market. At the same time, 2 fire trucks and on-duty forces are arranged to be ready to handle any situations or incidents that arise on Ton Duc Thang Street and Thong Nhat Square.

The Fire Prevention and Rescue Police Team (Hai Duong City Police) in coordination with Tran Phu and Le Thanh Nghi Ward Police organized propaganda and reminders to households in the area where the walking street and night market are located, thereby promptly correcting the limitations to ensure fire prevention and fighting safety.

Through the propaganda and reminders of the police force, residents and businesses on the walking street and night market have raised awareness of fire prevention. Mr. Nguyen Quoc Tuan, owner of Tuan Ruoi restaurant, a business on the street, said: "The restaurant has equipped fire extinguishers and instructed employees on how to use them to put out fires initially. This is a necessary step to ensure the safety of employees and customers when they come to enjoy food at the restaurant."
