Regarding 72 households in Dan Lai district of Con Cuong that have not been granted land to build houses, Chairman of Nghe An Provincial People's Committee Le Hong Vinh said that it is necessary to jointly deploy house construction with land allocation for people to keep up with progress. In addition, it is necessary to study and repair the road to transport materials and supplies for people to build houses.
Districts need to regularly check the quality and aesthetics of houses for people, have many house models for people to choose from; build specific progress and regularly inspect, urge, and supervise during the implementation process.
Nghe An provincial leaders requested districts and departments and branches to focus highly and resolutely to complete the program, ensuring the set progress, striving to complete before July 31, 2025.
