Border troops help people harvest rice

Lam Dot commune has the largest rice-growing area in A Luoi district, with over 240 hectares out of a total of 1,000 hectares of the entire district. The rice fields of the local people are primarily situated in hilly and sloped areas, making the harvesting process quite difficult, especially due to a lack of tools, human resource, and supporting machinery.

Regardless of harsh weather conditions, troops and youth union members in Lam Dot commune supported three households harvest rice. They are policy beneficiaries and people with difficult conditions.

According to Major Vo Xuan Minh, Secretary of the Youth Union Organization of the Border Post of A Dot Border Gate, every week on Saturday and Sunday, troops come to villages to help local people clean the environment, repair civil projects, and harvest rice to ensure production and minimize the losses caused by natural disasters.
