According to Colonel Vu Van Thuc, Commanding Officer of Dai Tu district Military Command, since Resolution No.07-NQ/HU on expanding rural roads was issued, the district People’s Committee has built a concrete plan and then assigned each department, committee, agency, and unit of the district to being in charge of a commune or townlet in the movement’s implementation. Dai Tu district Military Command undertook Phu Lac commune.

For the past three months, Col. Thuc and most of the unit’s officers and soldiers have been present in Phu Lac commune every Saturday of the first week of the month. They came to each household to disseminate information about the district’s policy on expanding the village roads and encourage local people to donate land for building roads.
Throughout villages in the district, militia and self-defense forces joined hands to demolish the wall, dig roads, conduct land leveling and clearance to expand village roads to 6m wide or more.
Thanks to the close coordination between the district’s military command and Party Committee, and local authorities of communes and townlets, the project’s progress was sped up dramatically.
Along with encouraging local people to donate land for building rural roads, the district’s military command has also promoted law dissemination and education among locals and mobilized them to strictly follow the Party’s guidelines and policies, and the State’s laws.
After more than three months, Dai Tu district’s armed forces have actively engaged in the movement to widen village roads and mobilized people to donate land, structures and trees while deploying forces to participate in activities to expand rural road corridors in many communes and townlets in the district.
Attentively, the district’s military command has collaborated with Phu Lac commune’s authorities to build a 700m-long flower road, creating a green, clean, and beautiful landscape for the newly-expanded route and responding to the movement “Military join hands to build new-style rural areas."
Over the past time, the movement has been further enhanced, widely spreading among troops of Dai Tu district and meeting local people’s needs. Moreover, the movement has contributed to consolidating solidarity and close ties between the armed forces and local people, and local authorities at all levels, as well as raising troops’ skills and experience in mass mobilization activities.
