Tuyen Quang residents surrender 263 homemade guns and explosives

In Tuyen Quang province, local police have successfully implemented a campaign to encourage the voluntary surrender of weapons, explosives, and fireworks. This initiative aims to reduce accidents and improve public security in areas with significant ethnic minority populations where the use of homemade guns for hunting and crop protection is a common tradition.

Since July 2026, authorities have conducted 468 propaganda sessions involving over 68,000 participants. As a result of these efforts, citizens have surrendered 263 homemade guns, 283 bullets, and 29 detonators, along with various other weapons and support tools. The campaign is scheduled to run through October 15, 2026.
