People join hands

From the suburbs to the rural areas of Hai Duong, the dark and gloomy scenes on the roads are now a thing of the past. Instead, the roads are brightly lit.

At 6 p.m., the lighting system on all the village and hamlet roads in Ngoc Son commune (outskirt of Hai Duong city) simultaneously lit up. The light resonated from the high-pressure bulbs mounted on the electric poles, spreading out, illuminating the way for each stream of people and vehicles traveling on the road. Ms. Vu Thi Nhich, a local resident, excitedly said: "In previous years, at this time, we elderly people rarely went out because it was dark, and we were afraid of falling or being hit by vehicles. Since the construction of the new rural area and civilized urban areas, the roads have been spacious and brightly lit, so we feel much more confident going out."

All village roads and alleys in all 3 villages of Ngoc Son commune have been installed with lighting. In 2021-2022, Ngoc Lac village mobilized over 1 billion VND to install all high-pressure lamps for 2 main roads. A businessman volunteered to install some solar-powered lamps for the village.

"22 out of 32 hamlet roads in the village have been lit with 100W high-pressure lamps, the remaining roads have been installed with conventional light bulbs. The investment cost is up to billions of VND and all of it is contributed by the people," said Mr. Tran Xuan Dao, Party Cell Secretary and Head of Ngoc Lac Village.

As night falls, the already majestic gate of O Me village, Hung Dao commune (Tu Ky) becomes even more magnificent and sparkling. Behind the village gate, the roads appear bright thanks to the installation of a lighting system. The road connecting Hung Dao - Ky Son communes, about 500 m long, through the village, has also been installed with this system.

Party Cell Secretary and Head of O Me Village, Nguyen Ngoc Khac, boasted: "When Tet comes, the scenery of my hometown is even more beautiful at night because people install decorative lights on the streets. Perhaps many places on the street are not as beautiful. This achievement is due to the active participation and support of the people and successful children of my hometown."

Many rural areas in Nam Sach, Cam Giang districts, Kinh Mon town, Chi Linh city... also install solar energy lighting systems on the roads to save energy. At night, the village roads and alleys light up, not only creating a landscape, helping people travel and do business conveniently, but also contributing to ensuring security and order...

In the evening, the approximately 1 km long road from Haivina Company Limited to Lang Xuyen village, Gia Phuc commune (Gia Loc) is brightly lit. People, especially workers, no longer have difficulty traveling after overtime hours as they did in 2022 and earlier. "In early 2023, the Commune Youth Union launched a car wash to raise funds and mobilized more resources, raising over 20 million VND to install 11 electric poles to light this road. People travel conveniently and safely, and the countryside is also more civilized," said Mr. Do Minh Nam, Secretary of the Gia Phuc Commune Youth Union.

According to Gia Loc District Youth Union Secretary Tang Van Nguyen, not only Gia Phuc Commune Youth Union but also youth in all localities in the district have implemented the youth project "Lighting up rural roads" from the car wash model fund. More than 100 million VND is the amount that the Youth Unions of communes and towns mobilized from car washes and support from organizations and individuals to install lighting for many roads in villages and residential areas. This activity actively contributes to the implementation of the new rural construction program.
