Hue: Thoroughly handle the situation of many historical relics and national heritages being violated

According to the People's Committee of Hue City, after receiving Official Dispatch No. 4729/VPCP KGVX of the Government Office on handling information reflecting the situation of many historical relics and national heritages being violated, the People's Committee of Hue City issued a document directing the Hue Monuments Conservation Center to urgently inspect the situation of historical relics and national heritages being violated according to information reflected by the press (Nguyen Dynasty cannons placed on the Flag Tower, on both sides of Ngo Mon Gate, tourists stuffed garbage into the gun muzzles; Fire medicine warehouse and Quan Tuong monument became "hot spots" for drug addiction...), urgently taking appropriate handling measures.

The Hue City People's Committee also directed the Department of Culture and Sports to preside over, guide, inspect and supervise the conservation, restoration and embellishment of relics and heritage sites to ensure effective management, protection and promotion of the values of heritage sites and relics in the city; and report to the City People's Committee on issues beyond its authority.

The inspection results have shown the following reasons: Some tourists are not aware of protecting the common environment and public property. The supervision and punishment of littering in the wrong place is still loose and not really strict. This makes tourists not afraid to violate the law.

In the Fire Medicine Warehouse and the Monument area, few visitors come to visit, making these structures deserted and with few people passing by. This area also lacks light and is overgrown with trees.

The security force of the Hue Monuments Conservation Center is still small, so patrolling and control are limited. Detecting and handling violations, including drug use, still faces many difficulties and sanctions are not strong enough to deter.

Regarding handling and prevention measures, the report said that the Hue Monuments Conservation Center has deployed regular daily inspection forces, assigned supervisors to the area with cannons to promptly monitor and remind visitors of littering and throwing trash into the cannons. Collect trash when detecting improper disposal in the cannon display area. Increase warning signs and visiting regulations at locations with historical artifacts that are vulnerable to damage.

The Hue Monuments Conservation Center has inspected the entire area of drug addiction hotspots at the Fire Medicine Warehouse and the Statue Monument, collected and destroyed needles. It has sent a dispatch requesting the Ward People's Committee, the Police and the Civil Defense to coordinate with the Center's security forces to organize regular patrols, especially in key areas such as Eo Bau, Fire Medicine Warehouse, Statue Monument and areas with little light and limited visibility.

The Hue Monuments Conservation Center has coordinated with Thuan Hoa Ward Police to install additional surveillance cameras in the Quan Tuong Dai and Hoa Duoc Kho areas; arrange personnel to monitor and patrol regularly every day, record videos and take photos of the area each time they patrol, promptly detect and handle violations.

In addition, the Center has cleared dense vegetation and installed night lights in areas lacking light to reduce illegal gatherings; mobilized local people and tourists to protect the relics and report violations through hotlines and interactive channels.

The city also said that after implementing the above measures, the injection situation in the area of the Fire Medicine Warehouse and the Monument no longer occurred; the landscape and environmental sanitation were improved, minimizing the situation of dumping trash into the cannon and the areas visiting the relic.

The surveillance camera system and regular patrols have improved the effectiveness of crime prevention and ensured security and order at the above-mentioned relic sites.
