On behalf of the Provincial National Assembly Delegation, Mr. Nguyen Thanh Hien - Deputy Head of the Provincial National Assembly Delegation informed voters about the results of the 4th session of the 14th National Assembly.

After listening to the National Assembly deputies' reports, Quy Hop voters expressed their confidence in the innovations of the National Assembly and the Government, and were excited about the activities of Nghe An National Assembly deputies at the session; and at the same time, they proposed many issues of concern.

Speaking at the meeting, voter Truong Van Binh (Chau Hong commune) said that currently, provincial road 532, the section from the intersection of Chau Thanh and Chau Hong communes, is seriously degraded and damaged, making it difficult for people to travel. Voters hope that all levels and sectors will pay attention to creating conditions and supporting road construction to help people travel more conveniently.

Concerned about the current situation of polluted and unsecured ecological environment, voter Kim Minh Chau (Chau Hong commune) reported that many companies exploiting ore and white stone in the area have caused significant consequences to the environment, as well as affecting people's lives and production.

For example, in the recent storm No. 10, taking advantage of the storm, some upstream mining companies dumped rocks, sand and mud into streams, causing the communal house fence of Pong hamlet to collapse and flooding the residential area of ​​Na Don hamlet, completely filling up nearly 4 hectares of agricultural land and 1.5 hectares of ponds. Therefore, voters requested the National Assembly, the Government and the State to strictly manage and take many measures to ensure environmental safety and people's lives.

Also related to environmental issues, voter Vi Van Hoa (Chau Hong commune) proposed that the State should support clean water sources for people in Na Hieng and Cong villages to ensure people's health.

Voter Sam Van Thanh (Chau Cuong commune) also said that Chau Cuong is one of the communes with the largest forest area in Quy Hop district, with 2/3 of the area being forestry land. However, only the forestry farm manages it, while most households do not have land for production, and the poverty rate is increasing. Voters recommend that the State consider and propose solutions to divide production forest land, creating conditions to help people eliminate hunger and reduce poverty, and strengthen people's trust.

In addition, at the meeting, voters also reflected many other opinions such as: There should be a policy of allowances for part-time cadres; Regimes for war invalids, sick soldiers and people with meritorious services; Reasonable allocation of cadre work; Investment in building clean water for daily life associated with production; Continue to invest in building the Pieng Luong resettlement program; Inadequacies in raising salaries for preschool teachers with university and college degrees to receive intermediate salaries...
