(HBO) – A delegation comprising officials of the Vietnam Fatherland Front (VFF) Committee, the Department of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs, the Women’s Union, the Farmers’ Union and the Federation of Labour of Hoa Binh province on June 11 examined the provision of aid for people facing difficulties caused by the COVID-19 pandemic in Yen Thuy district.
Support for the pandemic-hit people was provided under the
Government’s Resolution 42/NQ-CP issued on April 9 and the Prime Minister’s
Decision 15/2020/QD-TTg on April 24.
Following the plan of the provincial People’s
Committee, from May 2 to 8, the Yen Thuy division for labour, invalids and
social affairs coordinated with the district’s post office to give financial
aid totaling over 10.38 billion VND (445,700 USD) to 11,033 locals. They
included 812 revolutionary contributors, 1,994 welfare beneficiaries, 3,203
members of poor households, and 5,024 others from near-poor families.
The local VFF committee and relevant organisations
monitored the entire process, from making lists of recipients to providing aid.
The district’s authorities haven’t recorded any complaints from locals so far.
However, the inspection delegation still found
out some eligible cases left unpaid or some getting support more than once.
Relevant agencies immediately took actions to correct their mistakes.
At the inspection session, the Lac Thuy
administration proposed the provincial People’s Committee provide funding to
cover the money the district has advanced to pay beneficiaries. It also asked
for detailed guidance in defining which labourers without contracts are eligible
for support.
Leaders
of the provincial VFF Committee and the delegation asked local authorities to
press on with communications to help the public understand more about the
support policy and its targeted beneficiaries. They also requested strong
coordination among the local VFF committee, organisations and relevant agencies
in monitoring the policy implementation.
With the motto of "polite, dedicated, professional, and lawful,” over the years, Phu Cuong commune in Tan Lac district has gradually improved the quality of processing administrative procedures, winning high satisfaction from local people and businesses.
Stretching over 300 meters, valued at hundreds of million dong and built to the new-style rural standards, a concrete road in De hamlet, Bac Phong commune, Cao Phong district, was completed by the end of 2023 thanks to the collective contributions of armed forces at provincial and district levels coupled with the active participation of military units stationed throughout the district.
Over the years, the People’s Committee of Lac Thuy district has issued many plans and programmes to speed up the administrative reform, aiming to better serve local people and businesses.
Kim Boi district is drafting 23 planning projects which are expected to help boost the local socio-economic development, attract investors, and mobilise resources for development, said Vice chairman of the district People’s Committee Tran Tuan Son.
They include the one on Bo urban area development until 2045, 20 zoning, and 12 on rural residential areas in communes.
This year, Hoa Binh province strives to have eight communes recognised as meeting new-style rural area standards and five communes satisfying exemplary new-style rural area standards. Since the beginning of the year, the provincial People's Committee has drastically directed the implementation of the national target programme on new-style rural area building to fulfil the set target.
Cao Phong district achieved positive socio-economic development results last year as drastic comprehensive measures were implemented with high determination of its whole political system, said the Secretary of the district Party Committee Ha Van Di.
