At the ceremony, participants observed a moment of silence to remember the 3,157 victims ruthlessly killed in the town's Tuong and Dai mountain areas.

The same day, a cultural park dedicated to the victims was inaugurated, meeting the needs of local people to commemorate their lost loved ones and serving their cultural activities.

Immediately after the end of the border defence war, the Party, State, and An Giang province built the Ba Chuc crypt. By 2013, it was upgraded into a historical site to commemorate the victims of the massacre and educate future generations about patriotic traditions. Currently, the site preserves 1,159 skulls, of which 1,017 have been identified for age and sex./.
