BẮC NINH — The People’s Committee of Từ Sơn Town, Bắc Ninh Province, has decided to suspend Phạm Quyết Tiến – chairman of the People’s Committee of Đông Ngàn Ward – for seven days.

The move came after the town committee reported on Monday that Sao Băng Karaoke Shop on Minh Khai Street, Đông Ngàn Ward, was still open during the imposition of social distancing to prevent the spread of SARS-CoV-2 under Prime Minister Nguyễn Xuân Phúc’s order.

The town committee also told the authorised agencies to strictly deal with the karaoke bar for violating regulations on COVID-19 pandemic prevention.

Agencies were asked to clarify the responsibility of the head of the ward’s police office for letting the karaoke bar stay open.

The town committee assigned vice chairman of the People’s Committee of Đông Ngàn Ward Tạ Đức Huy to be in charge and manage work during Tiến’s suspension. — VNS
