The police staff of Thung Khe commune (Mai Chau) has been on duty and welcoming the citizens to promptly grasp the situation and take the preventive measures in case of the incident.

There is the National Highway 6 running through Thung Khe commune, which has made it a hot route for illegal drug trafficking. Drugs have penetrated a lot of neighboring areas. However, with the great vigilance of the Party Committee, the appropriate authorities and the people, Thung Khe people are still proud because their land is still "immune" from drugs.

In order to get the above achievement, Mr. Ha Van Hung, the Chairman of Thung Khe People's Committee says that every year, in the plan for the law propaganda, dissemination and education, the Law on Drug Prevention and Control is the key content. In addition to the symposia, the propaganda is regularly integrated in the meetings of the helmets and residential areas. In the hamlets and residential areas in the commune, the effective operation of 10 self-managed security teams has been maintained for many years. In addition, Thung Khe commune joined a security cluster in a row of 6 communes of Mai Chau and Tan Lac districts in 2016. Thanks to strengthening the coordination in grasping information and preventing the crimes, it has helped 6 adjacent communes of 2 districts to maintain the security situation, as well as effectively fight against the drug-related crimes.

For the model of the group for the self-management security, this is the main nucleus in the propaganda of the law and struggle against the different types of crimes in the commune. The team is established on the basis of self-managing inter-family group. In addition to participating in patrolling and controlling during the peak occasions, the team has built the close relationships among the members through the support and assistance in everyday tasks such as funerals and weddings. This also facilitates the members to remind each other to fight and prevent the drug intrusion.

From the beginning of the year until now, the security situation in the commune is still ensured, there are not any drug-related subjects and cases.
