 The campaign is divided into 2 phases, of which phase 1 was implemented from August 25 to September 10, and phase 2 is implementing from September 11 to October 25.

 In the first phase of the campaign, the functional forces promoted dissemination drives on waterways traffic.

 The police will check all inland waterway vehicles and fishing boats operating on the inland waterways routes.
