Crossing mountains to reach villages and issue identity cards for residents during a holiday.
(Baonghean.vn) - During these holidays, while everyone is gathering and resting, many police officers and soldiers in Nghe An are traversing hills and mountains to reach border villages to collect data and issue citizen identification cards.

| To implement the "70-day, 70-night" campaign to issue chip-embedded citizen identity cards (CCCD) to citizens with permanent residence in Nghe An province currently residing both within and outside the province, starting from April 26, 2023, the Nghe An Provincial Police established three task forces to reinforce mobile CCCD issuance in border districts. Each team consists of 10 officers, primarily from the Police Department for Administrative Management and Social Order, who directly go to border communes in six districts: Thanh Chuong, Ky Son, Tuong Duong, Con Cuong, Anh Son, and Que Phong to collect data.

| These are particularly difficult areas; to reach populated areas, the task force had to travel by various means. Most cars could only reach the commune center, while in villages and households with elderly, disabled, or lonely people, travel was mainly on foot. In many locations, officers and soldiers had to climb slopes and cross mountains for nearly half a day to reach their destination. Meanwhile, the equipment and vehicles used to collect data were specialized and quite cumbersome; everyone had to protect the equipment very carefully to avoid malfunctions during deployment. In many remote villages and residential clusters, there was no electricity grid, so generators had to be used. Therefore, fuel conservation was a top priority. All operations performed by the officers had to be quick, accurate, and minimize any energy-consuming activities of the equipment. Photo: Hong Ngoc |

| Furthermore, most of the residents here are ethnic minorities who work in the fields year-round, resulting in calloused hands from labor; therefore, taking fingerprints is very difficult. The staff thoroughly applied various "tricks" such as: soaking hands in carbonated water to soften the skin, using various types of medicated oils to make the fingerprints more prominent, and many even used their own hand creams to help.

| Many of them were being photographed for the first time, so they were quite nervous in front of the camera. The police officers had to meticulously and attentively guide them to calm down, focus, and ensure the photos met the requirements. Photo: Hong Ngoc |

| During the process of collecting data for the Citizen Identification Card (CCCD), the working groups received very effective support from the District Police, specifically the commune police force. Thanks to their thorough understanding of the local area and skillful community outreach, the commune police were able to quickly gather people at the data collection points, saving a lot of time and effort… Photo: Hong Ngoc |

Afterward, other teams replace them and continue traversing mountains and forests to reach other villages. They only stop when all the villagers of eligible age have been issued Citizen Identification Cards (CCCD). Photo: Hong Ngoc |
