Ms. Nguyen Thi Ly (voter of Con Cuong town) said that during the flood discharge of the hydroelectric plant more than a year ago, like other areas along the Lam River, the people of Con Cuong town were severely affected. Many areas of agricultural land are no longer usable, but to this day the hydroelectric plant has refused to compensate.

Sharing the same opinion, Mr. Nguyen Van Long said that currently, Lam River from Con Cuong to Ky Son has more than 20 hydropower projects, of which 8 are already in operation. “The consequences of hydropower are huge. Every time the flood is released, people flee, causing extremely severe impacts. Currently, agricultural land is no longer productive, people do not know what to do but are not compensated,” Mr. Long said and asked the competent authorities to consider the planning of hydropower in the future and at the same time asked the factories to be more responsible to the people.

In addition, at the meeting, another voter also complained to the National Assembly Delegate about the quality of this hospital.

Also at the meeting, many opinions expressed indignation about the situation of encroachment on traffic sidewalks; resolving policies for people with meritorious services; slow-progressing projects in Con Cuong district as well as high electricity and water prices...

Regarding the issue at the Southwest Nghe An Regional General Hospital, Major General Nguyen Huu Cau said that during the last voter contact in Bong Khe commune, local people also reported that the hospital discharged waste into the environment. He then directed an investigation and discovered that this situation has now been dealt with.
