(Baonghean.vn) - In response to voters' urgent petitions regarding compensation payments for hydropower plants, Major General Nguyen Huu Cau said that the entire province has stopped granting permits for the construction of new hydropower plants, because the consequences of hydropower plants are very large.

On the morning of December 4, the delegation of the Provincial National Assembly, including Mr. Le Quang Huy - Vice Chairman of the National Assembly's Committee on Science and Technology; Major General Nguyen Huu Cau - Member of the Provincial Party Standing Committee, Director of Nghe An Provincial Police, had a meeting with voters after the 8th session at the Con Cuong District Cultural Center.

Many issues are reflected

Voter Kha Van Van suggested that it is necessary to review the way to evaluate the criteria for poor households. There are still many shortcomings, especially the equalization in the way of calculating points for livestock and vehicles, because in reality there is a difference in the value of each livestock and vehicle evaluated.

Regarding education, voters mentioned a number of issues such as: requesting the State to support lunch and exempt tuition fees for preschool children. The current difficulty in paying salaries for teachers who take care of children in preschools, because these nutrition staff are currently paid 2 million VND/month by the school and parents. Due to low income, it is not possible to retain nutrition staff in schools and classes. In addition, opinions also suggested supporting lunch allowances for preschool teachers.

Voters in Lang Khe commune hope that all levels and sectors will pay attention to supporting policies for the embankment project along the Lam River. Currently, households living in this area are at risk of many risks and great losses due to landslides, especially during the rainy season.

The representative of the District People's Procuracy mentioned some difficulties in implementing and combating human trafficking and fetal trafficking, because there are currently no guidelines and specific sanctions. In addition, the implementation of temporary detention according to the Criminal Procedure Code still faces many difficulties. According to regulations, temporary detention can only last for 3 days, but for some agencies with the authority to make temporary detention such as border guards, temporary detention is still difficult. Because the border guards are located far away, the management area is large; meanwhile, the short detention period leads to the implementation of some initial steps not being completed.

Many voters expressed their indignation about the shortcomings in the Chi Khe hydropower plant's slow payment of compensation to the people, causing the people's benefits and lives to not be stable. Voters expressed their concerns about the allocation of protective forests to people with land for production; support for families in the forest protection zone; review of policies for people with revolutionary contributions; and poor patients who have not yet received support for transportation costs.

Stop licensing new hydropower construction

At the meeting with voters, receiving voters' recommendations related to electricity, roads, and stations, Major General Nguyen Huu Cau said that these are completely valid wishes of voters. In order to improve the lives of people in mountainous areas, the National Assembly recently passed the Project on overall development of mountainous areas, and districts 30a like Con Cuong benefit greatly from the Project.

Delegate Nguyen Huu Cau suggested that in the coming time, the district should proactively receive support sources to focus on using them in a focused manner; at the same time, he hoped that voters would trust the Party and State's guidelines and policies.

Regarding the issue of hydropower in the area, Major General Nguyen Huu Cau said that recently, all levels and sectors have reviewed the number of hydropower plants in the whole province and found that putting hydropower plants into operation contributes a lot to the overall socio-economic development, however, the consequences from hydropower are very large. Therefore, the province is currently stopping the construction of new hydropower plants.

“Loss of productive land, flash floods, unstable compensation and resettlement, and people’s lives facing many difficulties. These are the negative aspects of hydropower that the central government, provinces, and districts clearly see and are gradually addressing,” affirmed delegate Nguyen Huu Cau.

Major General Nguyen Huu Cau accepted other recommendations from voters such as increasing the payment level for forest environmental services and issues related to education and promised to forward them to relevant ministries and branches for consideration and resolution.
