On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Liberation of the South and National Reunification Day (April 30, 1975 - April 30, 2025), Ho Chi Minh City is the locality where many of the most important events take place, especially the Parade with the participation of Party and State leaders. Many international guests and a large number of Ho Chi Minh City residents and people across the country will also enthusiastically participate in the national reunification festival.

Accordingly, each plan is assigned forces, prepared for situations and organized drills to ensure effectiveness and timely handling of arising situations.

At Saigon Power Company (PC Saigon), a unit under Ho Chi Minh City Power Corporation (EVNHCMC), for more than a month now, despite the hot weather, the workers of the Company's Power Grid Management Team have been on site day and night to prepare for ensuring electricity for areas where parades and cultural and artistic events will be held.

Despite the hard work, sweat drenching the protective clothing, bright smiles are always present on the faces of the workers of the Power Grid Management Team. For them, the task of maintaining the electricity on the national reunification day is a sacred duty and a command of the workers' hearts.
