In order to assist local farmers in overcoming their difficulties, soldiers and officers of Battalion 2 under the Southern Central Mobile Police Regiment were deployed during the last days of 2016.
“Heavy rains in many consecutive days resulted in erosion of 1,000m canals,” said Pham Tran Nghi, Vice Chairman of the Vinh Ngoc People’s Committee, pointing at ruined fields, “The heavy rains and floods prevented farmers from starting their winter-spring crops as usual. The police force has helped us dredge over 100m3 of soil. We are grateful to them for their help.”
