(People's life) - From March 16 to September 10, the Department of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs of Ho Chi Minh City received 797 people, including 694 people at the Social Support Center and 103 people at the Mental Health Nursing Center.

Regarding the recent occurrence of children and beggars standing in areas in wards of District 7 and District 4 begging for food and waiting to receive charity, Mr. Tran Quoc Dung, Deputy Head of the Department of Social Protection of the Department of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs, said that the City People's Committee has issued Decision No. 812/QD-UBND on regulations on coordination mechanisms for the implementation of the work of gathering children, homeless beggars and other subjects in need of urgent protection in Ho Chi Minh City. After nearly 6 months of implementation, the work of gathering these subjects has had many positive changes.

Statistics from March 16 to September 10 show that the Department received 797 cases, including 694 people at the Social Support Center and 103 cases at the Mental Health Nursing Center.

The Department also coordinates with relevant agencies to thoroughly handle according to regulations those who organize, incite, coerce, and exploit children, the elderly, and people with disabilities, especially professional herding groups.

However, to cope, recently, these subjects mainly operate in the form of selling lottery tickets, cotton swabs at crowded intersections, border areas during the midday and late evening hours. This makes the work of detecting and handling this situation difficult.

Previously, the Department of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs of Ho Chi Minh City has repeatedly called on city residents not to give money directly to beggars on the streets.

Ho Chi Minh City authorities also recommend that people, when discovering beggars, report them to the authorities for handling.

The People's Committee of Ho Chi Minh City requests the Chairmen of the People's Committees of districts, towns and Thu Duc City to strengthen inspection and screening to promptly detect and concentrate beggars and people living in public places; support and create conditions for vocational training and job referrals for difficult cases at risk of wandering, begging, living in public places or those returning home and reintegrating into the community from social protection centers; focus on implementing sustainable poverty reduction solutions and have specific plans to assist these subjects.

The Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee also requested to strengthen information, propaganda, and mobilization work to encourage people not to give money directly to beggars and to guide people to help through organizations, political -social unions, and local social charities; People's Committees of wards, communes, and towns need to coordinate and support organizations and individuals in charitable activities to ensure security, order, and urban beauty in the locality...

"Strengthen management and review of areas with a high concentration of temporary residents and short-term residents with many elderly people and children without relatives to promptly detect, prevent and limit the situation of herding or taking advantage of vulnerable people for personal gain; provide information on phone numbers to receive reports of beggars and people living in public places," the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee stated.
