TO keep the upcoming "two sessions" frugal and minimize disturbance for local residents, Beijing police have canceled the traditional practice of escorting session deputies and members with police cars, a senior Beijing traffic control official has said.
The first sessions of the 12th NPC and the CPPCC National Committee will open on Tuesday and today, respectively. The 2,987 lawmakers and 2,237 political advisors are staying in downtown Beijing and will convene at the Great Hall of the People.
The annual session of the National People's Congress, China's parliament, and the meeting of the CPPCC National Committee, the top political advisory body, usually saw heightened traffic controls, adding to traffic woes.
This year, traffic will be diverted around the Great Hall of the People two hours before meetings start and 10 minutes before they end.
Avoiding extravagance is a feature for the sessions this year, following Chinese leader Xi Jinping's call to promote the tradition of "being diligent and thrifty" and the idea of "honor to frugality and shame to extravagance."
