On the morning of November 4, continuing the 8th Session, the National Assembly discussed in the hall the results of the implementation of the 2024 socio-economic development plan and the expected socio-economic development plan for 2025.
There are special policies to help people in storm-affected areas stabilize their lives.
Speaking at the discussion session, National Assembly delegate Nguyen Thi Thuy (National Assembly delegation of Bac Kan province) said that it has been more than a month since Typhoon Yagi passed through with heavy devastation, the storm has left serious consequences for many northern provinces. With the determination to care for the people of the Party, National Assembly, Government and the entire political system, along with noble gestures, full of comradeship, the people have eased many pains and losses after the storm.
To continue to better prepare for disaster prevention and response, delegates suggested continuing to have special and specific mechanisms to supplement additional support resources for affected localities, especially mountainous localities. Along with that, the National Assembly and the Government need to allow the implementation of simplified procedures to deploy support resources to the people, so that the hearts of the Party and State will soon reach the people in areas affected by storms and floods.
Sharing the same view, National Assembly delegate Nguyen Thi Yen (National Assembly delegation of Ba Ria - Vung Tau province) said that there should be specific policies to help people in storm-affected areas stabilize their lives. According to the delegate, in the last months of the year, many provinces and cities across the country suffered heavy damage from storms No. 3 and No. 6, the Government quickly directed the work of prevention, avoidance, and minimizing damage to people and property. However, the delegate suggested that the National Assembly and the Government have specific mechanisms and policies, continue to implement solutions to help localities and people restore their livelihoods, stabilize their lives and rebuild affected areas, ensuring growth.
Risk of landslides and environmental pollution from mineral exploitation
Concerned about the management, exploitation and economical use of minerals, National Assembly delegate Pham Van Hoa (National Assembly delegation of Dong Thap province) said that the Law on Geology and Minerals expected to be passed by the National Assembly at the 8th session has amended and supplemented many shortcomings in state management, aiming at effective exploitation, protection and use. The delegate affirmed that minerals are valuable resources of the country, most of which are not regenerated and developed but are increasingly depleted, requiring management, exploitation and economical use, contributing proportionately to the state budget, contributing to the important development of the country.
However, in practice, many places still have issues that need to be thoroughly researched, because minerals are a “delicious bait” that those who know how will exploit thoroughly, regardless of the consequences, as long as it benefits them. Many valuable minerals are mixed in the soil and rocks, so organizations and individuals take advantage of loopholes in the law in management to circumvent the law, exploiting these rare goods together with common materials for consumption, without being detected.
In addition, the illegal exploitation of precious minerals in some places is still being carried out without the supervision of the authorities. On the other hand, the declaration of the amount of recovered mineral ores depends on the self-awareness of organizations, businesses and individuals, which is very difficult for state management agencies to control. Not to mention the mineral mines licensed for exploitation under the request-grant mechanism, which also causes losses to the state budget.
National Assembly Delegate Pham Van Hoa is concerned that in mountainous areas, there are accompanying minerals such as soil, rock, coal slag mixed with precious minerals that have not been exploited and discarded, causing waste. In some places, they are piled high, posing a risk of landslides and environmental pollution, threatening the lives and health of people, while there is not enough soil and rock for construction projects.
Another issue that was mentioned by the delegates was that the transport infrastructure has been approved by the National Assembly and gradually implemented, but implementation in localities is facing difficulties. The pressure of using common sand and gravel for filling, the possibility of material shortage is very large, will affect the construction progress of projects and works.
Therefore, delegates suggested that the Government, ministries and sectors have necessary solutions to use waste soil and rock from mineral mines, coal slag, thermal power plants and power plants to replace rivers as common materials. Sea sand also needs to be carefully studied and assessed for its impact so that its use does not affect the environment...
