Mr. Thai Thanh Ha - Head of the Department of Labor - Invalids and Social Affairs of Vinh City said that the unit is also advising the Vinh City People's Committee to issue a document requesting wards, communes and units to handle this situation. "We have immediately set up teams to handle this situation. Yesterday alone, we brought 2 beggars to the ward to work. For those who have relatives and houses, we will arrange a car to take them back to their hometowns and hand them over to local authorities for management. For those who have no relatives, they will be taken to social protection centers. Since the Lunar New Year until now, 3 beggars in Vinh City have been taken to the center," said Mr. Ha.
