The Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee requested the agencies in charge of drafting the submission and draft Resolution to receive and revise and develop quality documents that meet the requirements. The Office of the Provincial People's Committee coordinates with departments and branches to prepare complete documents to submit to the Legal Committee of the Provincial People's Council for review within the prescribed time. Closely following the directives issued by the Central Government, the agencies and units after the arrangement need to implement the tasks in accordance with their functions and authority.

For some tasks of the Department of Transport transferred to the Provincial Police, it is necessary to coordinate with the Provincial Police, perform the tasks well after the merger and transfer; if the police force is still lacking, based on the practical situation, it is possible to select officers with good professional expertise to transfer to the industry to meet the job requirements.

The Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee also noted that after completing the arrangement, the heads of agencies and units need to direct the serious handover of documents, ensure effective document storage, and absolutely not let any negligence cause loss of documents during the merger process.

Leaders of agencies and units need to do a good job of arranging the staff of civil servants and public employees to ensure impartiality, objectivity, and good performance of tasks. At the same time, well implement the regime and policies for civil servants and public employees who are subject to reduction.

The Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee also emphasized that the quantity and quality of the staff with high professional qualifications in the province are still low, not meeting the practical needs in the new situation, especially the lack of experts in key fields. Therefore, if the province wants to make a breakthrough, it must have flexible policies to attract and support the training of quality human resources, promoting economic development.

After the merger, departments, branches and agencies need to immediately focus on their professional tasks to continue advising the People's Committee on plans and growth scenarios in 2025. Do a good job of planning, review land items that have been planned but not implemented to find solutions to completely handle them, avoiding wasting land resources. Continue to implement solutions, promptly remove difficulties and obstacles, improve the investment and business environment to achieve economic growth targets. /.
