Comrade Vu Duc Tai - Secretary of the Party Committee of Nghia Tien commune added that in recent years, there have been 5 civil disputes in the commune, petitions sent to the commune have been resolved by the Mediation Teams and commune officials, not allowing the matter to drag on or petitions to go beyond the level. In the process of resolving the cases, the role of the Mediation Team (including the Party cell committee, executive committee, Fatherland Front, organizations, and prestigious people) plays an important role.
