Dak Nong Provincial Police are collecting DNA samples from martyrs' relatives.

On May 8, the Department of Administrative Police for Social Order, Ministry of Public Security, in coordination with GeneStory Company, Dak Lak and Dak Nong Provincial Police, and local authorities, collected DNA samples from relatives of unidentified martyrs in the area.

In Dak Lak, more than 5,200 martyrs have been surveyed, but there are still more than 2,300 martyrs lacking specific grave information.

Currently, the province has 35 mothers of martyrs still alive and some relatives of martyrs. To ensure convenience, the police force went to the homes of some mothers and relatives to collect DNA samples.

Dak Nong Provincial Police force went to the homes to collect DNA samples of martyrs' relatives.

Colonel Tran Binh Hung, Deputy Director of Dak Lak Provincial Police, said that this activity is humane and scientific. DNA testing requires large costs and requires the cooperation of society.

Therefore, sample collection must be done carefully to ensure accuracy and avoid wasting resources.
