(Baonghean.vn) - On November 16, 2015, the People's Committee of Nghe An province issued a telegram on launching a peak period of collecting weapons, explosives, and supporting tools before, during, and after the Lunar New Year 2016.The content of the telegram is as follows:

Dear:

- Provincial departments, branches, sectors and organizations;

- People's Committees of districts, cities and towns.

In recent times, the work of managing, using and recovering weapons, explosives and supporting tools has been directed, deployed and implemented by Party committees, authorities at all levels and by functional departments and branches, thus achieving many important results. In 2015, the whole province mobilized and recovered 27 military guns, 181 sports guns, 532 hunting guns, 641 homemade guns, 10 bombs, 28 grenades, 1,382 bullets of various types, 40 mortar shells; 76.35 kg of explosives; 169.4 kg of artillery; 140 detonators; 217.2 meters of fuse, 55 supporting tools; 1,219 rudimentary weapons; 5,575 dangerous toys were banned... The above results have limited the causes and conditions for criminals to take advantage of their activities, contributing to ensuring security and order in the province. However, through monitoring, the management of weapons, explosives, and supporting tools still has many loopholes and shortcomings; the situation of weapons, explosives, and supporting tools floating in society is still widespread; there is a potential risk that criminals will take advantage of these activities to commit crimes with a tendency to become more complicated and increase.
