Concluding the meeting, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee Ho Quoc Dung, Head of the Steering Committee for the elimination of temporary and dilapidated houses in the province, acknowledged and highly appreciated the results achieved in the elimination of temporary and dilapidated houses. He acknowledged that thanks to the drastic participation of the entire political system from the province to the grassroots level, along with the positive response of organizations, individuals, enterprises and people, the program has brought about high results, ensuring the set requirements. In addition, thanks to the synchronous and drastic participation of all levels and sectors, difficulties and problems related to land, budget, resource mobilization, material mines for construction, etc. have all been promptly and smoothly resolved.

“Recently, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh inspected the work of eliminating temporary and dilapidated houses in Binh Thanh commune (Tay Son district) and was very excited and highly appreciated, praising the province for its good and effective way of mobilizing resources to support households. The Prime Minister believes that Binh Dinh is a bright spot of the whole country in joining hands to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses!”, emphasized comrade Ho Quoc Dung.

However, the Provincial Party Secretary assessed that there are still shortcomings and limitations that need to be overcome in the implementation of the elimination of temporary and dilapidated houses. That is the situation where some households still rely on and "outsource" the construction and repair of houses to the state, organizations and individuals. The propaganda, mobilization and resource mobilization work in some localities is not good; there are not many mobilized resources; the mobilization of working days, materials, and control of construction progress are not guaranteed... "Through this conference, localities need to promote good and effective practices, and at the same time overcome shortcomings and limitations to do better!", the Provincial Party Secretary suggested.

Regarding the key tasks and solutions in the coming time, the Provincial Party Secretary requested that from now until March 31, 2025, all localities must start building and repairing the remaining temporary and dilapidated houses. This must be considered a key and urgent task to show gratitude to families of meritorious people and fulfill their responsibilities to the people on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Liberation of Binh Dinh Province (March 31, 1975 - March 31, 2025). Conduct a review of all temporary and dilapidated houses to have a specific and detailed support plan; strive to complete the elimination of temporary and dilapidated houses in the entire province by May 31, 2025.

“Continue to do a good job of propaganda and mobilization of the masses, cadres and party members to understand the purpose and meaning of the program so that they can continue to join the province in eliminating temporary and dilapidated houses. Mobilize the community's cooperation and contribution in the spirit of everyone contributing what they have, some contributing money, some contributing labor, some contributing strength... The spirit is that no sector, organization or locality will stand aside. Continue to mobilize resources to support house construction,” the Provincial Party Secretary requested.
