Kon Tum (VNA) – The Central Highlands province of Kon Tum has mobilised its entire political system to implement Directive No. 42/CT-TTg signed by the Prime Minister on eliminating temporary and dilapidated houses, helping to improve living conditions for local residents, especially those in ethnic minority-inhabited areas.
Sa Thay district is among the localities that have most effectively implemented the programme, with 75 repaired houses and 219 newly-constructed abodes.
Statistics showed that Sa Thay district still has 346 temporary and dilapidated houses that need to be repaired or constructed. The local authority has focused on raising public awareness and mobilising public support to accelerate the work.
Trinh Dinh Lam, Vice Chairman of the Sa Thay District People's Committee, stated that the district has stayed on track with the outlined plan. Teams within the project have paid attention to mobilising resources from organisations and donors, and integrating funding from various programmes and projects to effectively perform the work.
Along with maintaining national security and defence, the provincial Border Guard Command has actively supported the elimination of temporary and dilapidated houses in border areas, helping local residents stabilise their lives.
So far, a total of 1,016 temporary and dilapidated houses across the province have been renovated or replaced, demonstrating the effective involvement of the entire political system and society to bring a better life to disadvantaged residents. This initiative serves as a motivation for impoverished households to gradually improve their living conditions and contribute to the country's development.
Kon Tum has set a goal to eliminate 2,752 temporary and dilapidated houses by June this year. /.
