The Ministry of Transport (MoT) has asked the Hanoi People’s Committee to close all cafés along the railway line between Dien Bien Phu and Phung Hung streets. In a letter sent to municipal authorities, the MoT said too many cafés had been opened close to the tracks, posing a high risk of accidents. Statistics from the Vietnam Railway Authority showed that in September only, 24 accidents occurred on railway lines, an increase of 40 percent compared with the same period last year. Nine people were killed in these accidents. People liked to sit by the tracks to drink, eat and take photos.VNA Photo: Trọng Đạt
