Director of the An Giang Provincial Police Department Senior Colonel Lam Phuoc Nguyen said that the provincial police launched a campaign to prevent and fight crimes, ensure traffic order and safety, increase patrol and check to detect and handle law violations.

An Giang is known as a land with many famous landscapes, historical and spiritual sites so at the beginning of the new year, tens of thousands of tourists from all over the country often come to the province to enjoy festivals.

In order to ensure safety and security for local people and tourists to worship at temples, the An Giang Provincial Police Department mobilized maximum forces and implemented specific plans to ensure security, order and traffic safety, leaving a good impression on tourists and pilgrims to temples in An Giang.

Thien Cam Son, located in An Hao commune, Tinh Bien district, An Giang province, is famous for its majestic and mysterious beauty. In the early days of the lunar new year, a large number of tourists and pilgrims flocked there to visit and worship.

Although the number of people increased, the local police had drawn good plans before Tet and effectively implemented the plans so there was no big issue in terms of security and order during the festival.

Colonel Dang Chi Dung, Deputy Chief of the Tinh Bien District Police Station revealed that local police forces increased patrols to grasp the security and order situation, effectively prevent and early deal with any issues arising on the Cam mountain, particularly illegally preaching activities while ensuring traffic order and safety on the roads to the tourist area.

Chau Doc city, An Giang province, is home to the Sam Mountain Cultural Relics with the Thoai Ngoc Hau Tomb and the famous Ba Chua Temple, which is always busy with crowds of tourists and pilgrims.

The local traffic force worked hard to maintain traffic order and guide traffic flows of people and vehicles.
