CURRENT EVENTS, QUANG-NGAI

Quang Ngai is advancing strongly on the road of fighting Communism and building democracy. At the front, the fighters of the Republic's Army have won brilliant feats with the Lien Ket 81 victory. In the rear, a surge against the 'false peace' has started strongly, with large meetings attended by hundreds of thousands of compatriots. The Rural Construction work is progressing strongly: 44 Rural Construction cadre teams stay close to the grassroots, build New Life hamlets, and guide the people in completing the programme of construction, self-sufficiency and increased subsidiary crops. The village People's Council elections were held successfully in 39 villages across the province with 85% of voters taking part, choosing 254 council members.
