The move came after another decision to suspend the city-wide fireworks display, which was also meant to celebrate the big anniversary.
The decision was made at a meeting of the Ha Noi People's Committee on the preparation for the upcoming celebration on September 26.
Specifically, drone show is one of eight events which were planned for the 70th anniversary will be cancelled.
The scale and timing of seven other events will also be adjusted. For example, the special art program 'City of Peace - City of Flying Dragon' on October 10, initially planned for My Dinh National Stadium, will now take place at the Thang Long Imperial Citadel.
The city will ensure the necessary infrastructure, equipment and security for the 'Cultural Festival for Peace' to commemorate both the 70th anniversary of Ha Noi's Liberation and the 25th anniversary of the city's recognition as a 'City of Peace.'
The city has also completed a draft plan, which will be submitted to the Party Central Committee's Propaganda Department, the Secretariat and the National Steering Committee for Major Events for 2022-2025.
Earlier, on September 24, the Ha Noi Party Standing Committee had decided to cancel all fireworks displays in the city's 30 districts and towns for the 70th anniversary to focus on recovery efforts following Typhoon Yagi./.
