Provincial National Assembly delegation meets voters in Yen Mo district — Voter representatives expressed their opinions at the meeting.

However, voters are still concerned and worried about the merger, such as the increase in workload and pressure on communal officials and civil servants, especially in carrying out administrative procedures on land, construction, investment, environment, dispute resolution, complaints, denunciations, etc., which must be done within the time limit prescribed by law and meet the legitimate needs of the people.

Regimes and policies for cadres, civil servants, public employees, and redundant workers; waste and even abandonment may occur at the headquarters of public agencies and community cultural works when implementing administrative unit arrangement.

Voters suggest that the National Assembly and the Government consider regulating standards at the commune, district and provincial levels to suit the management level of officials, the psychology and regional customs. For communes in the delta, especially the Red River Delta, the population standard should be 8,000 or 10,000 people or more, with an area of 5 - 6 km2, taking the population standard as an important standard, as a basis for organizing the merger of commune-level administrative units.

Regarding the draft Land Law (amended), voters suggested studying and assigning the Department of Natural Resources and Environment to inspect and appraise the records and procedures, submit them to the District People's Committee to sign and issue the first land use right certificate and sign and issue the land use right certificate for donation, inheritance, and transfer to families and individuals as in the years before 2013, ensuring quick procedures and not causing inconvenience to the people.

Voters also proposed that the National Assembly consider expanding the subjects eligible to convert agricultural land use rights in at least one province or centrally-run city or expanding the subjects nationwide, to effectively promote land potential, develop the agricultural economy, and attract potential investors.

Regarding the issue of developing traffic infrastructure in the area, voters requested that all levels and sectors pay attention to expanding and building a new Trang bridge, creating safe travel conditions for people; repairing, leveling, filling, and pouring concrete on the Vac river dike surface; and building a convenient connecting road between the three communes of Khanh Duong, Khanh Thuong, and Mai Son.

Regarding social policies, voters suggested that there should be specific regulations on the time for issuing health insurance cards to relatives of enlisted soldiers, avoiding delays as in the past; the issuance of health insurance cards should be transferred to localities; the regime of issuing vocational training cards to discharged soldiers should be reviewed to suit current conditions. Voters also suggested that there should be a support regime and health insurance regime for veterans who enlisted in the period 1976 - 1989.
