Continuously detecting food safety violations at business households in Cua Nam ward, Hanoi
Cua Nam Ward People's Committee in May 2026 continuously fined many food service business households for violating food safety regulations. The main violations include not using gloves when directly contacting cooked food and not ensuring conditions for displaying food according to regulations.
Specifically, Ms. Phan Thi Cam Tu and Ms. Phi Ngoc Binh were fined for not using gloves when processing and contacting cooked food. Functional agencies assessed this as an act that potentially poses a direct risk to consumer health and rights.
Previously, Mr. Tran Duy Long's business household on Nguyen Che Nghia street was also fined for providing food services without a Certificate of eligibility for food safety. Cua Nam Ward People's Committee said it will continue to strengthen inspection and supervision and require business establishments to fully comply with food safety regulations. See more...
Technology motorbike taxi drivers switch to electric vehicles to save costs
Fluctuating gasoline prices and increasing operating costs are causing many technology motorbike taxi drivers in Hanoi to switch to using electric vehicles. According to drivers, gasoline money used to be up to 100,000 - 150,000 VND/day, not including maintenance costs, oil replacement and engine depreciation.
Many drivers said that electric vehicles significantly reduce operating costs. The cost of charging a battery each day is only about 30,000 VND, much lower than gasoline, and also reduces periodic maintenance costs. Thanks to that, actual income is improved and more stable.
Besides the benefits of cost savings, support programs such as free rental, battery exchange, car rental or car loan support also help drivers easily switch to electric vehicles. This trend is considered a solution to help increase income, and is also consistent with the orientation of reducing emissions and limiting gasoline cars in urban areas. See more...
