Faced with the serious damage in many localities in the Northern region, especially Lao Cai, the Director of Kien Giang Provincial Police quickly directed the launch of an emergency donation campaign. In addition, the Provincial Police sent a relief delegation directly to Lao Cai province to help people affected by storms and floods.
In Lao Cai province, the delegation presented 120 cash gifts (each worth VND2 million) and distributed 55 tons of goods (rice, instant noodles, milk, clothes, school supplies and essential necessities). The goods were transported by Team 68 to Van Ban, Bac Ha and Si Ma Cai districts, the districts that suffered the most damage.
Senior Lieutenant colonel Duong Huu Binh - Deputy Head of Division Advice (as Head of the Delegation) and members of the Delegation kindly visited and encouraged households to quickly overcome the consequences, stabilize their lives and restore production. The support from Kien Giang Provincial Police in particular and other organizations, units and individuals in general not only has material value but also is a source of spiritual encouragement to help people in flood-hit areas overcome difficulties and restart their lives.
In Quan Ho Than commune (Si Ma Cai district) and Lung Phinh commune (Bac Ha district), the working delegation worked with the Party Committee and People's Committee of the communes to clearly understand the damage situation and the support needs of the people.
Chairman of the People's Committee of Quan Ho Than commune said that storm No. 3 caused a major flood, with some places having the flood rising up to 7m, causing the commune headquarters to be completely submerged up to the 2nd floor, forcing the operation to be relocated to the commune health station. Although the commune had no human casualties, 142 households were seriously affected, of which 35 households suffered complete loss. All of the people's crops were buried, causing damage that greatly affected their lives. The locality is very grateful for the help and support from near and far that has given them more motivation to stabilize their lives.
Previously, in order to promptly share and support the people in the North to overcome the consequences of natural disasters, Kien Giang Provincial Police organized a launching ceremony calling on all officers and soldiers with affection and the spirit of mutual love, promoting the spirit of "the healthy leaves cover the torn leaves". Thereby, they donated money to help the people in the Northern provinces overcome difficulties, contributing to the Party and State to quickly restore production and stabilize people's lives. At the launching ceremony, leaders and officers of the Provincial Police donated and supported people affected by storm No. 3 with an amount of over 2.3 billion VND.
