The moves of the Ha Giang Provincial Police have made good impression on the local people, contributing to building a good image of the People’s Police.
According to the Ha Giang Police Division of Administration Management on Social Order, from November 2016 to April 2017, the division had granted 9,071 new ID cards, renewed 4,130 cards and re-granted 4,481 ID cards.
According to Colonel Ngo Thanh Binh, Deputy Head of the Quan Ba District Police, the district is home to 22 different minority groups with the Mong accounting for a vast majority. In 2017, the district’s police has targeted to issue 2,000 ID cards for ethnic people. To this end, the working team of the Quan Ba District Police managed to visit and work at 2 remote commune every month.
Regardless of any weather conditions, members of the working team managed to overcome all difficulties to issue ID cards for local people in various far-flung villages in the district.
In the past, hardly anyone in remote areas had a legal personal document. The people here used to live separately and barely had any contacts with the outside world; as a result, they were not aware of the importance of personal documents.
“Having no legal personal document has caused various troubles to the household management and the maintenance of security and order in the locality as well as prevention and combat of criminal activities,” said Colonel Ngo Thanh Binh.
According to Colonel Binh, the police work in remote areas faces various difficulties due to the low educational level of many local people and the language barrier (many of the local people only speak their own ethnic language other than popular Vietnamese).
