Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh has signed off an official dispatch ordering the enhancement of measures for ensuring traffic order and safety during the Lunar New Year (Tet) holiday and the spring festive season.

A train departed from Saigon Railway Station in Ho Chi Minh City on the morning of February 10 (the 23rd day of the 12th lunar month), carrying nearly 3,000 trade union members and disadvantaged workers back to their hometowns to celebrate the Lunar New Year (Tet).
