Transport minister urges Mekong Delta to make infrastructure cohesive
Viet Nam News SÓC TRĂNG — The Mekong Delta should strengthen links between the transport infrastructure in its 12 provinces and Cần Thơ City to further foster development, Minister of Transport Nguyễn Văn Thể has said. Speaking at a seminar held in Sóc Trăng Province on Thursday, he said the delta should exploit its marine and inland waterway advantages to develop transportation since funding is limited. In 2018-20, his ministry would build roads and other transport infrastructure to improve intra-regional links and ease congestion on roads, he said.

Last month, outgoing Gov. Jerry Brown and incoming Gov. Gavin Newsom asked the SWRCB to delay its vote by a month to allow time for local water authorities to reach voluntary settlement agreements (VSAs) as an alternative to the new plan.

Delta Airlines announced Monday it would ban puppies from serving as service or emotional support animals on its flights. Delta Airlines said Monday it would prohibit emotional support animals in cabins for flights longer than eight hours and ban all service animals and emotional support animals under four months old on all airplane routes beginning December 18, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.The airline said it would make exceptions for passengers who already bought a ticket and requested an emotional support animal until February 1. Delta said the uptick in reported incidents in which service and support animals have urinated, defecated, or bitten someone while in flight went up by 84 percent led to the policy change. “These updates support Delta’s commitment to safety and also protect the rights of customers with documented needs – such as veterans with disabilities – to travel with trained service and support animals,” said Delta senior vice … [Read more...] about Delta Airlines Bans Emotional Support Puppies
