Explaining the opinion related to the regulation of arranging 2 vice chairmen for communes of type 1 and type 2, the Standing Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Council said that, based on the number and positions of cadres and civil servants prescribed by the Central Government, localities should base on their practical needs to arrange an appropriate number of positions to meet the leadership, direction and management work of the locality.

In case the locality needs to arrange 2 vice chairmen of the People's Committee of the commune, it will prepare a project to complete the position of vice chairmen of the People's Committee of the commune and send it to the District Department of Internal Affairs and the District Party Committee. When there is an opinion from the district, it will organize a meeting of the People's Council of the commune to elect additional vice chairmen of the People's Committee of the commune.

Sharing the difficulties of the team of people working in villages, hamlets and communes after the merger with the increasing population size and large area, Mr. Nguyen Nam Dinh also informed voters about the current policy for this team issued by the Provincial People's Council which is at the "ceiling" level prescribed by the Central Government; however, through practice, there are still shortcomings, so the Provincial People's Council continues to absorb and recommend competent authorities to remove them.

Regarding the handling of oversized and overloaded vehicles, the Standing Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Council emphasized the responsibility of the District Police in patrolling, controlling and handling; therefore, it is recommended to strengthen this work throughout the district...
