The Department invited departments, branches, localities, and units that own the locations where the advertising poles will be installed to meet to find a solution.

Previously, the Pasteur Institute of Ho Chi Minh City also sent a dispatch to the Ho Chi Minh City Police reporting that at the intersection of Nam Ky Khoi Nghia - Vo Thi Sau, a group of workers from an advertising company were constructing a new foundation pit to install an advertising board on the sidewalk, close to the institute's fence.

According to the institute, the location of this construction pit occupies the entire sidewalk for pedestrians and shoppers. At the same time, this pit dug into water pipes and underground electrical and optical cable systems under the sidewalk, disregarding the danger and regulations on electrical and telecommunications protection corridors to prepare for pouring concrete.

Some of the previously built advertising poles around the institute also have foundation pits placed on the electrical cable system, telecommunication cable and disabled access.

"This construction work causes insecurity for the city's technical infrastructure system, poses a direct risk of fire and explosion, and is dangerous for central and local agencies, organizations, and people in the relevant areas," the Pasteur Institute of Ho Chi Minh City concluded, and respectfully requested the City Police to take timely preventive measures and conduct a comprehensive inspection of similar billboards.
