Troops join hands in building new-style rural areas
PANO - Late December of 2016, more than 600 officers and soldiers from Division 3 of Military Region 1 actively carried out a mass mobilization drive in five communes of Bac Giang province’s Lang Giang and Lang Son province’s Huu Lung districts.
It was part of the division’s activities of “Joining hands in building new-style rural areas” before the end of their training year.
During the 20-day drive, the troops assisted local people in dredging canals, repairing over 10 kilometers of rural roads, building cultural houses and clearing the ground for stadiums.
Moved by the troops’ assistance and care, local people offered the troops food, vegetables, and fuel. The drive once again demonstrated the close ties between troops and people.
Here are some photos of the troops’ activities taken by reporter Xuan Dan.
