NA approves draft revised Law on Railway

The National Assembly passed the draft revised Law on Railway with 80.86 percent of votes during the June 16 working session of its ongoing third sitting.

Government Inspector General Phan Van Sau speaks at the session

With ten chapters and 87 articles, the law prescribes the planning, investment, building, protection, management, maintenance and development of railway infrastructure.

It also mentions the railway industry, railway order and safety, railway business, rights and obligations of relevant organisations and individuals related to railway activities, and State management in the sector.

The same day, legislators debated the draft Law on Denunciation (amended), saying the issuance of the revised law is significant as it creates favourable conditions for citizens to exercise their rights to denunciation.

After hearing deputies’ opinions on forms of denunciation, Government Inspector General Phan Van Sau said denunciations reported by email with e-signature and other e-forms with clear information as well as names and addresses of denunciators will undergo legal processes.

Some law-makers underlined the need to identify responsibility of agencies for protecting accusers.
