According to the Office of the Nghe An Provincial People's Committee, this phase of DNA sample collection is being carried out under a plan of the Ministry of Public Security, focusing on maternal-line relatives of martyrs.
To ensure the smooth implementation of the second phase, the Nghe An Provincial People's Committee has assigned the provincial police to coordinate with the Police Department for Administrative Management of Social Order under the Ministry of Public Security and relevant agencies to prepare the necessary conditions and ensure the quality and effectiveness of the process.
People's Committees of communes and wards are responsible for announcing the daily DNA sample collection schedules at designated locations through local public-address systems until October 30. They must also publicise the telephone numbers of commune- and ward-level police chiefs and deputy chiefs in charge so that relatives of martyrs can contact them when necessary.
Collection schedules and sampling locations are also being displayed at public administration service centres and published on local government websites and social media platforms.
Local authorities have been required to coordinate with the police in arranging transport for all registered relatives, ensuring that 100% of them are taken to DNA sample collection points and brought safely back home, with the process conducted conveniently and securely.
Previously, Nghe An provincial police together with units and localities, collected DNA samples from 17,831 people, achieving 89.7% of the target during the first phase of collection from June 25 to July 1.
