Strengthening land management

Based on the assessment of the performance results in August, at the meeting, the Standing Committee of the Provincial People's Council discussed and clearly identified key tasks in September, including organizing an explanation session of the Standing Committee of the Provincial People's Council; organizing supervision of the settlement of voters' opinions and recommendations since the beginning of the term; and at the same time, organizing an extraordinary session of the Provincial People's Council to decide on a number of important contents under its authority.

Concluding the meeting, Chairman of the Provincial People's Council Nguyen Xuan Son pointed out that the practice of monitoring and supervising the settlement of voters' opinions and reflections from departments, branches and localities was not timely and serious, so the key task in September of the Standing Committee and the Provincial People's Council Committees is to continue to urge the settlement of voters' recommendations and reflections.

On the other hand, from the practice of petitions, complaints, denunciations, recommendations and reflections of the people in recent times, land issues account for a large proportion; therefore, it is recommended that the Provincial People's Committee have solutions and measures to strengthen management in this field, and at the same time focus on properly resolving petitions and reflections of citizens on this issue.

The Chairman of the Provincial People's Council also agreed that the content of the meeting of the Standing Committee of the Provincial People's Council in September will select two contents for the Provincial People's Committee and the branches to explain related to the work of drafting legal documents and the implementation of the Notice of conclusion of the questioning session at the 3rd session of the Provincial People's Council (17th term) on construction planning, construction licensing and construction management of high-rise apartment buildings in the province.
