There is no specific mechanism for building a model new rural commune, so localities face difficulties.

Mr. Hoang Danh Lai - Chairman of the People's Committee of Quynh Luu district said that the province needs to have a support mechanism for the core team in the religious areas and budget support to ensure security and order in the religious areas.

“In Quynh Luu, the number of Catholics is quite large, the district also pays special attention to the issue of ensuring security and order and socio-economic development for Catholics. The working team of key cadres in the Catholic region is also unique. I think the province should have a mechanism to support this team more, and at the same time increase the budget to support the locality to ensure more efficiency,” said Mr. Lai.

Regarding the issue of new rural construction, Mr. Hoang Danh Lai raised the current problem of the widespread arrears in new rural areas, with some places having quite large debts; does the province have any solutions to overcome this situation?

The Chairman of the People's Committee of Quynh Luu district also said that the province currently has only 3 communes included in the planning for new model rural areas, including Quynh Doi commune (Quynh Luu district). However, the province has not yet had a specific policy mechanism for these 3 communes, so the locality has difficulty in completing the goal.

Mr. Nguyen Nhu Khoi - Director of Nghe An Radio and Television Station (a delegate of Quynh Luu district) mentioned the issue of agricultural product consumption. Currently, the output for products is still difficult, causing farmers to struggle in production; therefore, the province needs to come up with specific solutions to guide the people.

Another issue raised by delegate Nguyen Nhu Khoi is that illegal mineral exploitation is occurring frequently, causing many consequences for the locality.

Mr. Thu gave an example of weak electricity and overloaded electricity in some localities, people have petitioned many times but have not been resolved.

Expressing concerns about ensuring food hygiene and safety, delegate Dinh Thi An Phong - President of the Women's Union of Phuc Tho commune (delegate of Nghi Loc district) requested that functional agencies report specifically and in detail on handling and punishing establishments that violate food safety regulations, and be determined to push back this problem.
