Speaking at the event, the Vice Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee emphasised that eliminating temporary and dilapidated housing is a crucial and urgent task, contributing to ensuring social welfare across the province.

He requested relevant departments and sectors to prioritise mobilising social resources to support the programme in 2026. The implementation must follow the principle of “clear assigned persons, clear tasks, clear responsibilities, clear authority, clear timelines, and clear outcomes.”

At the same time, efforts should be enhanced to raise awareness and reach public consensus, striving to complete the goal of eliminating temporary and dilapidated housing across the province within 2026.
