After the document was issued, thousands of people in Lam Dong rushed to buy gasoline, causing chaos on the streets.
That same evening, the Department of Construction issued Document No. 422 to replace the old document, aiming to limit vehicles over 3.5 tons from traveling at night through Ta Nung Pass. The content of the document is to prioritize gasoline tankers passing through the pass to ensure fuel supply.
Accordingly, the Department of Industry and Trade has requested gasoline suppliers to ensure supply to serve people; at the same time, coordinate with media agencies to propagate to people not to focus on shopping and stocking up on essential goods, including gasoline, which affects the general situation of the market, leading to local shortages and leading to risks of unsafety in fire prevention and fighting.
