Focus on resolving 4 outstanding recommendations

Through working, the leaders of the People's Committee of Nghia Dan district affirmed that the voters' recommendations were all very legitimate. However, because the recommendations require time, a specific roadmap and a large state budget allocation, especially to resolve recommendations related to the pesticide warehouse treatment project in Tan Hoa block, Nghia Dan town; or to measure and map the land between the forestry farm and the land managed by the locality. On the other hand, the legal basis for resolving voters' recommendations related to the dairy farm project of TH Milk Food Joint Stock Company is currently not available and is facing difficulties.
