At the meeting with voters, Mr. Le Dinh Ly - Deputy Director of the Department of Home Affairs reported on some socio-economic, defense and security situations in the province in the first 6 months of 2017; expected program and content of the 4th session of the 17th Provincial People's Council, term 2016 - 2021.

Reflecting his thoughts and aspirations to the Provincial People's Council forum, voter Nguyen The Tai, hamlet 8, reflected that currently the entire agricultural production area in Thuan Son commune with over 300 hectares depends on the water pumping station from Lam River. However, in recent years, due to sedimentation, the flow to the pumping station has been affected.

Although the commune mobilizes people to contribute 150 - 200 million VND annually for dredging, this is only a temporary solution and due to the large amount of sediment, dredging is sometimes not timely, affecting the crop season. Therefore, it is recommended that the province and district pay attention to investing in the project to build a pumping station at a new location.

Voter Duong Phuc Cuong, hamlet 7, reported that the drainage canal system through Da Son and Trung Son communes to Thuan Son is not dredged regularly, narrowing the canal bed, while people on both sides of the drainage canal still throw garbage into the canal, causing congestion and spilling garbage into local fields, polluting the environment and affecting people's production.

Voter Tran Dinh Hung, Hamlet 1, said that health insurance benefits are not guaranteed for participants. For example, his child, a student, paid for health insurance at the beginning of the school year in September 2016, but in January 2017, when his child was sick and hospitalized, he still did not have a health insurance card.

Also at the meeting with voters, delegates also requested the province to pay attention to investing in the construction of the inter-commune road from Thuan Son to Xuan Son; investing in upgrading the rural power grid; paying attention to the regime for Party cell secretaries, hamlet chiefs and branches; managing traffic safety corridors; environmental sanitation...

Explaining the voters' proposal to invest in building a new pumping station for the commune, Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Council - Hoang Viet Duong, said: The pumping station has been decentralized to the commune for management and in principle, the commune is the level responsible for investing in building this pumping station.

However, with the difficult conditions of the commune budget, the locality can make a proposal to the province and district to support part of the funding for implementation.

Mr. Hoang Viet Duong also directly explained many issues that voters were interested in, and promised to fully absorb and reflect them to the 4th session of the 17th Provincial People's Council, term 2016 - 2021./.
