Mr. Dau Xuan Lien - Head of the Executive Committee of Phuc Loc Parish added: "Before the resolution of the hamlet committee, our Parish Executive Committee highly agreed, together with the secretary, hamlet chief, and organizations to mobilize each household. Through that, the people were very excited, voluntarily donated land, cleared the corridor, and handed over the site to the hamlet. Thanks to that, the solidarity between the village and the parish and the local government has been tightened. Seeing the effectiveness of the policy, now walking on the clean, beautiful concrete roads, everyone is happy, increasingly trusting the leadership of the Party."
