At the meetings, voters expressed agreement with the results of the session, and at the same time proposed many issues related to transport infrastructure, social security, administrative procedure reform and policies for grassroots officials.
Voters in Hoa An commune proposed to pay attention to amending the Law on the Elderly; have policies to create local jobs for rural workers; invest in transportation, irrigation, highland domestic water systems and support agricultural product consumption. Many opinions also reflected inadequacies in allowances for commune-level officials and non-specialized workers.
In Thuc Phan ward, voters proposed to accelerate the progress of Dong Dang (Lang Son) - Tra Linh (Cao Bang) expressway projects, Bac Kan - Cao Bang expressway; consider expanding the Ho Chi Minh road to a scale of 4 lanes. Some opinions reflected the situation that headquarters after arranging administrative units are abandoned, causing waste of public property.
Speaking at the conference, Minister of Construction Tran Hong Minh acknowledged the heartfelt opinions of voters, and at the same time requested localities to focus on planning, prioritizing investment in transport infrastructure, especially inter-regional connecting routes to create motivation for socio-economic development.
According to the Minister, the two Dong Dang - Tra Linh and Bac Kan - Cao Bang expressway projects have strategic significance for the province's development. Localities need to proactively remove difficulties related to land, site clearance, allocate resources and ensure social security for people.
On the same day, the working delegation of the Central Vietnam Veterans Association led by Senior Lieutenant General Be Xuan Truong visited and presented 20 gifts and 2 savings books to policy families and veteran members in difficult circumstances in Hoa An commune on the occasion of the 72nd anniversary of the Dien Bien Phu Victory.
