Ninh Binh to complete eradication of makeshift and dilapidated houses in August

To meet the deadline, the Department of Agriculture and Environment has established a working group to directly inspect the progress of new construction and repair at households and work with localities to grasp the situation, progress, implementation results, obstacles and difficulties and discuss solutions.

Agencies, departments and branches in the province have closely coordinated to closely follow the implementation progress, synthesise daily reports to urge localities to implement on schedule; ensure support for the right subjects, right needs, and meet the prescribed quality.

Along with that, Party committees, administrations, the Fatherland Front and socio-political organisations at all levels have synchronously implemented many solutions to join hands to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses.

Localities have focused on mobilising the cooperation and contributions of the business community, organisations and individuals to carry out the movement to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses throughout the province.

Many good and creative models have been implemented such as: The model of house of solidarity between Catholics and non-Catholics by the Executive Board of the Buddhist Sangha of Yen Son ward; model of “Fund to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses” of the administration and people of Yen Thang ward; the movement “House of 2,000 VND” of the Veterans Association of Ninh Binh province.

According to Vice Chairman of the provincial People's Committee Tran Anh Dung, the provincial Party Committee, provincial People's Council, and provincial People's Committee of Ninh Binh province determined that the programme to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses is a particularly important political task, so they focused on leading, directing, and issuing all documents under their authority to promote the implementation of the programme.

As of July 26, 100% of households eligible for support to repair and build new houses in Ninh Binh province had started construction. Currently, localities are actively urging to speed up the progress, striving to complete construction and repair in August.

Up to now, the whole province has supported 3,629 households, of which 1,778 households have been assisted to build new houses and 1,851 families have been aided to repair old homes, with a total fund of 410 billion VND.

In addition, thanks to the participation of the entire political system, localities also mobilised an additional 16.6 billion VND, 12,737 working days and other supporting materials during the implementation process.
