(HBO) – As one of the communes facing extreme socio-economic difficulties in Mai Chau district, the northern province of Hoa Binh, Hang Kia is mainly inhabited by the Mong ethnic group. This is also considered one of the key and complex localities in terms of security and order, especially drug crime, of Mai Chau district.
Thanks to efforts of the
entire political system, security, social order and safety in Hang Kia commune have
been maintained, with no conflicts between families. Of note, the "families ensure
security, order themselves” model has helped all-level Party organisations,
authorities, agencies and organisations supervise situation in the locality.
Implementing the "families ensure security,
order themselves” model, people of the Kha family in Thung Mai hamlet, Hang Kia
commune always unite with each other, and ensure security and order.
The biggest success brought about by the model is that the commune police
forces and families have closely coordinated with each other to disseminate
laws among residents, helping to raise their confidence and promote the
enforcement of policies and laws of the State as well as local regulations
relating to security and order. Local residents have, therefore, felt secure in
production and have not listened to bad people’s words about a "Kingdom of the
Mong people”.
Heads of the families play an important role during the implementation of the
model, especially in encouraging their relatives to seriously abide by policies
and laws of the Party and State. Heads and deputy heads of the families have
also played a core role in promoting laws and policies of the Party and State
among residents, and encouraging their relatives to not violate laws, to let
their children go to school, to not take part in illegal exploitation of
forestry products, to support each other in economic development, to make
themselves rich legally, and to well settle arguments in the families.
Of note, in 2016, head of the Giang family in Pa Khom hamlet coordinated with
local authorities to address a dispute of farming land which had lasted for
many years between households in the family, and 50 cases having premature marriage.
From the beginning of this year to the end of
August 2017, families in Hang Kia commune also joined hands with police forces
and competent agencies to encourage 20 drug addicts to go to the communal
health centre for tests. Fifteen management dossiers of the addicts then were formed
in line with Decree No. 111/CP.
The model has proven effective in some aspects. However, the crime situation,
especially drug crime, has still remained complex. The commune has 30 drug
addicts, of whom eight come from four out of five families, six being hunted hail
from the Giang, Vang and Kha families, and 72 serving prison sentences belong
to all the five families.
There are still several people in the five families secretly storing and
illegally using home-made guns, threatening local security and order.
Specifically, the Giang family in Pa Kham and Thung Man hamlets, and the Kha
family in Thung Man hamlet have still maintained the practice of shooting in
funerals./.
