Dak Glong keeps the fire burning for the new countryside

New rural light Dak Ha

After just a few days of campaigning, many roads in Dak Ha commune, Dak Glong district have been covered with light bulbs, helping people travel conveniently at night.

460 LED light poles are installed on main roads of Dak Ha commune, Dak Glong district.

Previously, in the evening, people in the commune were often afraid to go out because the roads were narrow, the alleys were dark, and it was difficult to move around. To ensure people's travel and daily activities, in early 2025, the Dak Ha commune government launched the construction of the "Rural Light" model.

Thanks to this model, 460 LED light poles were installed on main roads in the village in a short time, equivalent to a cost of 676 million VND. All of this cost was mobilized from contributions from the people.

With electricity, traveling for people in Dak Ha commune, Dak Glong district in the evening becomes more convenient.

“In the past, few people dared to go out at night. Now that the street lights are on, the atmosphere in the village is much more cheerful. People walk and exercise more along the road. The beauty of the new rural commune has been improved,” Ms. Bui Thi Oanh, a resident of village 1, Dak Ha commune, happily shared.

The implementation of the model also contributes to changing the appearance of the locality. On village and hamlet roads, the lights are turned on from 6:00 p.m. every day. The street lights spread out to the entire residential area.

The business of Mrs. Tran Thi Thu Thuy's family, village 8, Dak Ha commune, Dak Glong district, has been more bustling since the road was electrified.

Responding to the model, Mrs. Tran Thi Thu Thuy's family in village 8 also spent 1.5 million VND to install LED lights in front of their house. Now with the lights, her family's evening business is much more vibrant. The deserted street is now more crowded and bustling.

For areas with sparse housing, the model has helped people feel more secure in their work and production. Mr. K'Sieng, a resident of village 3, shared: "Since the lights are on, children go to school and play without fear of the dark. People who come home late from work in the fields are less rushed; there is no longer the worry of theft of agricultural products at night when drying them."

Ms. Nguyen Thi Que, Secretary of the Dak Ha Commune Party Committee, said: “The “Rural Light” model not only helps people travel conveniently, but also contributes to ensuring security and order in the area. In the coming time, we will continue to promote and mobilize people to join hands to replicate the “Rural Light” model to the remaining areas.”
