According to the Standing Vice Chairman of the City People's Committee, based on the results of a comprehensive review of the area, units need to synchronously implement solutions and measures to achieve the goal of achieving 30% of "drug-free communes and wards" by 2025.

In particular, propaganda work is identified as a core and continuous task, focusing on residential areas, industrial zones and high-risk groups such as teenagers, pupils and students. The movement of the whole population participating in drug prevention and control needs to be launched widely, associated with the motto "each person is a soldier, each family is a fortress".

Units strengthen the detection and management of drug addicts and users; support drug rehabilitation and reintegration into the community; clearly assign responsibilities to each organization and individual in management and supervision. The fight against drug crimes is deployed vigorously, strictly controlling legal activities related to drugs, avoiding passivity and surprise.

The locality will allocate funds, invest in surveillance cameras, implement policies on career guidance, vocational training, job creation and preferential credit to prevent relapse. Business sectors with security and order conditions such as karaoke, bars, accommodation services, etc. will be strictly inspected and managed to prevent crimes from being taken advantage of.

The implementation process is under the direct leadership of the Party Committee and the comprehensive management of the government. The heads of the Party Committee, agencies and units are responsible if the drug situation becomes complicated. Inspection, control and supervision will be strengthened, and violations will be strictly handled.

Standing Vice Chairman of the City People's Committee Nguyen Thanh Binh emphasized: Departments, branches, agencies, and commune-level authorities must determine their main task is to reduce demand; the armed forces, directly the police and border guards, have the main task of blocking supply; the task of the prosecution agency is to investigate, prosecute, and try to ensure no wrongful convictions or omissions, thoroughly handle cases, and ensure deterrence.

At the same time, assign responsibility to the City Police - Standing Agency of the City Steering Committee 138 to preside over and coordinate with staff units to strengthen inspection and evaluation of the implementation of units and localities.
