The program has received support and consensus from martyrs' families and the community, demonstrating the spirit of "repaying gratitude" and the nation's morality of "remembering the source of water when drinking".
According to Lieutenant General Hoang Khanh Hung, the transportation of martyrs' remains by train was carried out thoughtfully, safely, and solemnly, from issuing tickets, welcoming relatives, to arranging accommodation on the train.
"The good deeds of the Vietnam Railway industry have partly eased the pain of the martyrs' families, especially those in difficult circumstances," Lieutenant General Hoang Khanh Hung summarized.
Also at the event, delegates summarized lessons learned so that the repatriation of martyrs' remains can be implemented more effectively in the future.
It is expected that in 2025, the demand for transporting martyrs' remains by train will increase, as the work of identifying martyrs becomes faster and more effective.
