In the first six months of 2024, the forces detected and handled 10 violations of social order and safety; 22 violations of regulations on public order economic management; and 20 environmental law violations. Security and order were ensured, creating a favourable environment to promote local socio-economic development.

Speaking at the festival, Long asked Muong La district to continue to promote the movement; strengthen the dissemination of the plots, methods and tricks of hostile forces and criminals; and raise awareness and vigilance of each citizen.

The district should build a strong public security force at the district and commune levels as well as security and order protection teams at the grassroots level; organize campaigns to suppress all types of crimes, and quickly, and decisively and thoroughly handle incidents related to security and order, avoiding the emergence of "hot spots", he said.

On this occasion, the Director of the provincial Department of Public Security and the Muong La district People's Committee gave the certificates of merit to six collectives and 31 individuals with outstanding achievements in implementing the movement.
