Next, the meeting discussed and reviewed the reports and draft resolutions presented by the Standing Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee, Le Hong Vinh.

Accordingly, delegates participated in discussing the draft Resolution on investment policy for the Nam Trung dike project (Lam right dike) section from K2+00 - K8+230 (phase 1, section from K6+230 - K8+230). The opinion of the Provincial People's Council delegate Hoang Nghia Hung (Nam Dan) and the statement of Chairman of Nam Dan District People's Committee Dinh Xuan Que and Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Le Ngoc Hoa stated that there should be a comprehensive investment project for the Lam River right dike route passing through the former 5-nam area and now 3-nam (due to the merger of commune-level administrative units).

On the basis of that overall project, mobilize resources, divide investment, ensure the project both performs flood prevention and control tasks, meets rural modernization, serves traffic, avoids small, ineffective investment and waste of resources.

Agreeing with the opinions of the delegates, the representative leaders of the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, the Department of Planning and Investment and Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Hoang Nghia Hieu gave specific explanations. Accordingly, from a general perspective, the Lam River right dike project was approved and implemented since 2010.

However, due to funding difficulties, the project has not been fully implemented, with only 2 km and a cost of more than 230 billion VND. Currently, there are about 6.6 km left to complete the entire route and the capital requirement is 700 billion VND.

Therefore, the general opinion of the delegates is that the People's Council should approve the investment policy of this project to take advantage of support resources from the Central Government and in the coming time, continue to attract capital sources to invest in the next phase. The Provincial People's Committee and the sectors also committed that the investment process will coordinate well with the locality to come up with a suitable and effective design plan.

In addition to the Trung Phuc Cuong dike project, a number of provincial People's Council delegates also gave their opinions on the draft resolution on the investment policy of Dien Kim bridge; the project to relocate people in landslide areas in Tuong Duong and Ky Son districts.
