For the projects using the central budget, 12 out of 14 project dossiers have been received; 11 out of 14 projects have undergone field inspections, while two (one from Van Ho district and one from Quynh Nhai district) have not yet submitted their dossiers.

One project from Bac Yen district has not yet submitted its dossier.

Nguyen Dinh Viet, Chairman of the provincial People's Committee, addresses the meeting.

In his speech, Viet urged departments, agencies, and district and township People's Committees to actively cooperate and expedite the completion of project dossiers in order to accelerate the evaluation process; resolve any challenges or obstacles encountered during implementation; and strive to complete bidding processes to select contractors by June 15, so that the projects can start construction as soon as possible.

Regarding the resettlement project in Ta Xua commune, Bac Yen district, relevant departments and agencies should meet to discuss and propose optimal solutions to ensure the safety of the residents while meeting the local development planning requirements.

It is also important to continue efforts to persuade the people in project areas to move to safer places, and resolutely handle any business or accommodation activities during rainy and flood seasons, he stressed.
