On August 20, the police of Rach Gia and Chau Doc wards (An Giang) simultaneously held a launching ceremony to implement the goal of " 20% of communes, wards, and special zones without drugs" in 2025, in conjunction with the task of thoroughly resolving the situation of drug users in the area.
Speaking at the ceremony, Colonel Diep Van The - Deputy Director of An Giang Provincial Police acknowledged and highly appreciated the efforts of the police force and the grassroots political system in drug prevention and control in recent times. With the close leadership and direction of local Party committees and authorities, the perseverance and determination of the police force and the consensus of the people, drug prevention and control work in the wards has achieved many outstanding results.
The authorities have inspected and discovered thousands of subjects illegally using drugs; brought subjects to compulsory education institutions, reform schools, compulsory drug rehabilitation facilities, and quickly dismantled drug cases...
Colonel Diep Van The also pointed out: The situation of crime and drug abuse in the province in general, and Rach Gia ward in particular, still has many potential complications. Drugs not only destroy the health and future of addicts and their families, but also lead to a series of other crimes, directly threatening social order and safety, seriously affecting economic development, culture and happiness of the people.
Colonel Diep Van The called on the police forces of Rach Gia and Chau Doc wards and all officers and people to continue promoting the achieved results, promoting the sense of responsibility, closely coordinating between the police - government - organization and the community, mobilizing the combined strength of the whole society in the fight, prevention and repelling of drug abuse.
This peak period is not only a specific action to achieve the target of 20% of communes, wards and special zones free of drugs in 2025, but also an important step, creating a solid foundation for a safe and healthy living environment for the peaceful and happy life of the people, Colonel Diep Van The emphasized.
Immediately after the launching ceremony, the police forces of Rach Gia ward and Chau Doc ward organized a propaganda parade on a number of main streets to call on people to raise their vigilance and actively participate in preventing and combating drug abuse.
