According to the Provincial Construction Investment Project Management Board, the simultaneous implementation of many public investment projects is creating great pressure on construction human resources.
Although contractors have increased machinery and added labor, the progress of many projects has not yet met requirements.
To retain workers, many units have to set up camps right at the construction site, rent more people's houses and support living expenses. See more...

Participants can directly visit and test drive new electric vehicles, and at the same time, be advised on preferential policies when switching from gasoline vehicles to electric vehicles.
In the green vehicle experience area, a large number of students from universities in Hanoi such as the Vietnam Women's Academy, Foreign Trade University, Academy of Journalism and Propaganda,... lined up to test drive new electric motorbike models. Many young people said they are interested in electric vehicles because of their low usage costs, suitable for daily travel needs and contributing to reducing environmental pollution.
Nguyen Ngoc Khanh - a first-year student at the Vietnam Women's Academy - said that she used to think electric vehicles were difficult to use and inconvenient to charge. However, after experiencing the reality at the event, Ngoc Khanh assessed that the vehicles operate smoothly, are easy to control and are suitable for travel needs.
Currently, I am renting a room near school, so I often walk to school. I plan to choose a personal vehicle to be more convenient when traveling for 4 years of school. I see that electric vehicles have a supportive charging system, which can help me save much more money than gasoline vehicles. Moreover, this is an environmentally friendly vehicle. So I am planning to choose this vehicle" - Ngoc Khanh shared. See more...
