People are miserable because the Ly Thuong Kiet street extension in Vinh city has been "suspended" for more than 8 years.

On the afternoon of December 3, the XIV National Assembly deputies elected in constituency No. 4, including Mr. Tran Van Mao - Deputy Head of the Provincial National Assembly Delegation and Ms. Dinh Thi Kieu Trinh - Deputy Head of the Gender Equality Division, Department of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs, met with voters in Hung Binh Ward, Vinh City. Also attending were representatives of provincial departments and branches, leaders of Vinh City and Hung Binh Ward. Photo: Thanh Quynh

After listening to the representative of the National Assembly delegation inform the voters about the main contents of the results of the 8th session of the 14th National Assembly, the atmosphere of the meeting became "heated" by issues directly related to people's lives. Among them, the most "painful" was the construction project of Ly Thuong Kiet Street extension through Hung Binh ward.

This project was approved for investment by Vinh City People's Committee in 2011. However, after 8 years, this project has not been completed, causing negative impacts on people's lives.

Similarly, the project to construct and upgrade Ho Sy Duong Street was approved by the city in March 2010. However, up to now, this project is still unfinished, causing dozens of households in blocks 17, 24, Truong Tien (Hung Binh ward) to fall into misery because their houses and roads are seriously degraded...

Voter Nguyen Duc Dinh, Head of the Front Committee of Block 20, Hung Binh Ward, reported that the prolonged flooding during heavy rains has greatly affected the lives of the people. Many households in Block 20, Block 17 and Binh Yen Block were deeply submerged in water, and their property was not moved in time, and was damaged, causing considerable damage.

Even the inter-block roads at these locations are submerged in water from 0.8m to 1.2m. Therefore, it is recommended that provincial and city leaders have timely plans to soon end the above situation.

Regarding the issue of apartment buildings in the ward and city, many voters of Hung Binh ward are residents of the PVNC2 – CT02 apartment building (belonging to Nghe An Petroleum Minerals Corporation) located on Nguyen Quoc Tri street of the ward, which has been handed over and put into use for hundreds of households for 2 years now. However, the fire prevention and fighting system has not been completed, installed and put into use, making people extremely insecure.

Voters' opinions also focused on issues related to support policies for policy beneficiaries; granting land use right certificates; the deterioration of Kim Dong and Nguyen Quoc Tri streets; unsanitary waste treatment at the beginning of Le Hong Phong street in Hung Binh ward...

Acknowledging and absorbing the opinions of interested voters, the representative of the People's Committee of Hung Binh Ward, Vinh City explained issues related to authority. The representative of the People's Committee of Vinh City said that, in addition to responding directly at the meeting, after the conference, the People's Committee will have a detailed and complete written response, with the voice of the functional branches to thoroughly answer the people's questions.

Regarding the Provincial Delegation of National Assembly Deputies, Mr. Tran Van Mao said that regarding the issue of slow construction of roads after investment approval, the Vinh City People's Committee must truly be the "focal point" in directing, clearly assigning responsibilities to each member unit and proactively coordinating with units to speed up the progress of the project. In particular, the City People's Committee needs to be responsible for propagating and thoroughly answering the concerns and worries of the people.

Regarding the remaining opinions of voters, the National Assembly Delegation will seriously record and synthesize them to reflect to the National Assembly's functional agencies and relevant ministries and branches for consideration in the coming time.
