Man fined 3 million VND for littering on the street in Hanoi

KHÁNH AN |

Hanoi - A man was just fined 3 million VND for littering on village road 9, Phu Dong commune.

Chairman of Phu Dong Commune People's Committee Dao Duc Minh signed a decision to sanction administrative violations against Mr. Tran Van Hung (born in 1990) for the act of littering and abandoning garbage on sidewalks and roads not in accordance with regulations. Mr. Hung put garbage in sacks and littered garbage on village road 9, Phu Dong commune - near Ninh Hiep Elementary School.

According to Point d, Clause 2, Article 25 of Decree No. 45/2022/ND-CP dated July 7, 2022 of the Government stipulating penalties for administrative violations in the field of environmental protection; the fine level is from 1 - 2 million VND.

According to Resolution No. 08/2025/NQ-HDND dated April 29, 2025 of the Hanoi City People's Council, a fine of 2 times the amount applied to administrative violations specified in the articles, clauses, and points of Decree No. 45/2022/ND-CP. For organizations with the same violation, the fine is 2 times the fine for individuals.

Based on current regulations, Phu Dong Commune People's Committee issued a decision to fine Mr. Hung 3 million VND.

Over the past time, many wards and communes in the city have simultaneously launched campaigns to handle cases of littering indiscriminately.

Representatives of the Economic, Infrastructure and Urban Department and the Investment - Infrastructure Project Management Board (Dong Da ward) said that, faced with the situation of waste being thrown indiscriminately, advertising, illegal leaflets, and "black garbage" spots existing for a long time, affecting the environment and causing public outrage, Dong Da ward has organized a peak campaign to ensure urban order, traffic safety order and environmental sanitation.

During patrols and periodic environmental sanitation control along Lang street (next to To Lich riverbank), functional forces discovered and administratively fined many cases of throwing household waste bags into the median strip close to the riverbank.

According to the Hanoi People's Committee, along with the rapid development of the urbanization process, the situation of legal violations in the field of environmental protection in the city is common and there are a large number of violations that have not been handled. The main violations are still frequently repeated such as: Dumping waste not in accordance with regulations, transporting waste without cover to spill onto traffic roads, throwing waste in public places, cleaning in the wrong places, discharging wastewater exceeding regulations, not collecting hazardous waste according to regulations...

To effectively implement the task of building and developing the Capital, the requirement for the city government is to solve the problem of rapid and sustainable growth.

Therefore, along with current environmental protection solutions, increasing penalties according to Clause 1, Article 33 of the Capital Law to increase deterrence is necessary. This is one of the measures to contribute to raising the environmental protection awareness of the people of the Capital; is an effective measure to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of environmental protection work, one of the urgent requirements in the current period; and at the same time demonstrates the attitude of the city government and the people of Hanoi in protecting the Capital's environment.

It's a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit.
