However, there are currently only 18,433 graves of martyrs from Nghe An, including 9,799 graves of martyrs buried in martyr cemeteries in Nghe An province and 8,634 graves buried in other localities.
Many martyrs have no relatives to worship, and most of the surviving relatives are old and weak, making it very difficult to visit and offer incense to martyrs at cemeteries.
The whole province has 116 works honoring martyrs, including 1 martyr cemetery managed by the provincial level, 21 martyr cemeteries and martyr monuments managed by the district level, and 94 cemeteries, monuments, and martyr steles managed by the commune level.
