Expanding the Vinh Hung - Tan Hung inter-district martyrs cemetery

The Vinh Hung - Tan Hung inter-district martyrs cemetery (formerly Long An province) has very few graves left, while the demand for burial of martyrs' remains is expected to be very high. In light of this situation, the province has invested in expanding this cemetery.

The Vinh Hung - Tan Hung inter-district martyrs' cemetery is being upgraded and expanded.

The Vinh Hung - Tan Hung inter-district martyrs' cemetery was invested in and built in the late 1990s with a scale of 3,350 graves. Through many stages of searching, exhuming, and gathering remains, up to now, 3,200 graves have been buried for heroic martyrs who sacrificed their lives in the wars against French colonialism, American imperialism, and the Southwestern border war. In particular, it is the resting place of Vietnamese volunteer soldiers who fought and sacrificed their lives on Cambodian soil.

It is expected that the demand for burial of martyrs' remains is very large, while the Vinh Hung - Tan Hung Inter-district Martyrs' Cemetery no longer has tombs to bury martyrs' remains as requested. In response to this situation, the province has invested in expanding the Vinh Hung - Tan Hung Inter-district Martyrs' Cemetery.

The project to expand the Vinh Hung - Tan Hung inter-district martyrs cemetery has an area of ​​about 3.9 hectares, with a total investment of about 111 billion VND. The investment scale includes roads, ceremony grounds, funeral homes, fences, trees, lighting and more than 5,000 graves,...
