Bringing legal knowledge to people in border areas
(Baonghean) - Faced with the limited legal knowledge of ethnic minorities in the province's border areas, leading to the emergence of free migration, illegal border crossing, opium replanting, encroachment, and illegal immigration across the border, the provincial Border Guard has taken many solutions to bring legal knowledge to the people. In particular, the successful organization of the contest "Learning about the law on national borders" is one of the practical and effective tasks.
The contest was deployed throughout the province with 17 departments, branches, agencies, units, schools and 20/20 districts, cities and towns participating with nearly 200,000 entries. Contestants reside in all regions of the province, of all ages, all components and ethnicities. Colonel Nguyen Viet Ha - Deputy Political Commissar, member of the Steering Committee for Propaganda and Dissemination of Law Education (TTPBGDPL) of the Provincial Border Guard affirmed: "The contest is a special, extensive propaganda campaign to all classes of people, in line with the current situation and tasks of protecting sovereignty over seas and islands; contributing to raising legal awareness about national borders, the sense of responsibility of all citizens in the work of protecting sovereignty and security of borders and seas and islands of the Fatherland".
Disseminate legal education to 9th grade students using visual methods at border markers.
In recent times, the work of TTPBGDPL has been carried out in many forms such as: building border area newsletters, integrating propaganda into local meetings; through the radio system; through billboards, posters, slogans, leaflets, including in extracurricular programs for 9th grade students; dramatizing through cultural and artistic performances to people in ethnic minority and mountainous areas...
Border Guard Stations regularly maintain a team of reporters (from 5 to 7 people), coordinate with secondary schools and border communes to organize training for 228 officers to improve legal knowledge and experience in communicating to facilitate the process of TTPBGDPL. Since the beginning of 2011, TTPBGDPL has been held 157 sessions for 3,729 9th grade students.
Thanks to the good work of TTPBGDPL, in the past time, the Provincial Border Guard has mobilized 1,176 households to give up the intention of migrating to Laos, 204 households intending to migrate within the region to stay and work to stabilize their lives; resolved 2 cases of encroachment and encroachment; mobilized people to eradicate 15,400 m2 of opium replanting area; handed over 156 guns, 54 flintlock barrels and 8 bullets; consulted with localities to resolve 103 cases/135 subjects, mobilized 99 subjects to detoxify.
