This is the latest information related to the content Lao Dong reflected through the article "People's meeting to clarify the reflection of receiving 2,000 VND in storm support in Gia Lai.
According to Gia Lai Provincial People's Committee, the province has received information reflecting the organization of payment of damage support funds due to storms and floods to people in Binh Dinh ward; in which there are cases where they have to wait for a long time to receive very low support, even only a few thousand VND.
Although the support level is determined based on the area, level of damage and norms according to regulations, the organization of payment, information, propaganda and policy explanation of the locality are not suitable for reality.
This makes people have to wait a long time to receive very low-value support, reducing the humanistic meaning of the post-disaster support policy, causing concern and outrage in public opinion.
The Chairman of Gia Lai Provincial People's Committee requested Binh Dinh Ward People's Committee to urgently review and report on the situation of the case and the initial handling results to the Provincial People's Committee and the Department of Agriculture and Environment.
At the same time, localities must seriously learn from experience, rectify the method of organization and implementation, service spirit and information and policy explanation work for people; not to let the situation of people having to travel many times or encounter troubles when receiving small value support recur.
Gia Lai province also requested to review all dossiers, lists, levels of support and the amount of money paid to each household, ensuring the right subjects, the right levels, and public transparency.
For cases receiving low support levels, localities need to proactively choose appropriate and more convenient payment methods for people, especially the elderly, patients and households in difficult circumstances.
The Department of Agriculture and Environment is assigned to guide communes and wards in paying and finalizing disaster relief funds in accordance with regulations, and at the same time have appropriate solutions for low-value support items to avoid causing trouble for people.
