During this time, the return of young people and migrant workers increases the population, along with higher traffic volumes. Starting in December, the Điện Biên Đông District Police Department began implementing plans and coordinating with local authorities to raise the public’s awareness and urge them to sign agreements to ensure and join hands in local social order and security.

The Lunar New Year in Điện Biên Province in particular is also marked by spring festivals, featuring cultural, artistic, and sports events, including bullfighting, which attract tens of thousands of locals and tourists.

According to Captain Lò Văn Thu, Deputy Head of the Security Team under the Điện Biên Đông District’s Police Division, ensuring public order and raising the public’s awareness is a year-round priority, especially during Tết. Leading up to the annual traditional holiday, the district’s Police Division has worked with local authorities to organize efforts, including mobilizing local households to ink agreements to prevent illegal activities such as the sale or use of explosives, drunk driving, and fire safety violations. During Tết, 100% of the district’s police officers are on duty, except for those on approved leave. Specialized task forces and detailed plans have been established to solve specific needs, ensuring maximum effectiveness.

Điện Biên Đông Town in the district, the main venue for spring festivals, has actively raised local people’s awareness of seriously observing laws, clearing sidewalks and traffic corridors, and enhancing fire safety measures. Captain Mai Văn Đạt, Deputy Chief of the town’s police force, stated that the influx of tourists and locals during spring festivals necessitate additional patrols, association with other functional forces, and mobilization of local security teams to maintain social order.
