At the conference, voters focused on petitioning about the lack of domestic water in the area, especially in Mau Duc commune.

Due to the lack of water, households have to go into the forest to find water from streams, while others have to ask for water from neighboring villages. Due to the lack of clean water sources, many households are worried about the outbreak of diseases, affecting people's health. Voters hope that authorities and sectors will have solutions to help people have a source of water for daily use and a stable life in the long term.

Voters of Mau Duc and Don Phuc communes also made recommendations on issues related to re-issuing forest land use right certificates according to Decree 163 of the Government; policies for people with revolutionary contributions and frontline workers; solutions to handle heavy-duty vehicles carrying raw materials to protect traffic routes; and authorities to pay attention to repairing and upgrading the power grid system to ensure people's lives.
