worrying about the house, worrying about Tet

Directing at the meeting, Deputy Prime Minister Ho Quoc Dung emphasized that "Quang Trung Campaign" is a campaign of profound humanistic significance, demonstrating the responsibility of the Party, State, Army and Police towards the People.

Through an inspection of the actual implementation of the campaign in Gia Lai province, the Deputy Prime Minister praised the drastic participation of the entire political system; the active and responsible support of the military and police forces, contributing to helping the locality basically complete the set progress.

"Nearly 28,000 severely damaged houses have been repaired, this is a very encouraging result. The remaining 23 houses have complex structures, the province must be determined and mobilize forces to complete them; if necessary, continue to request support from the army and police to ensure that people have a place to enjoy Spring and celebrate Tet. Up to this point, it can be said that the Quang Trung Campaign has been a success," the Deputy Prime Minister directed.

According to Deputy Prime Minister Ho Quoc Dung, during the implementation process, if there is no urgent response and intervention from the military and police forces, the campaign will hardly be completed on schedule.

In addition, there is the mobilization of all resources of the Central Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front, all levels, all sectors, and the contribution of businesses and philanthropists to create resources to help people rebuild their home.

The Deputy Prime Minister suggested that Gia Lai province effectively and properly use the allocated budget of more than VND 1,160 billion, including VND 830 billion from the central budget, VND 75 billion supported by the Vietnam Fatherland Front and VND 255 billion from donors, in which priority is given to direct support for the people.

Deputy Prime Minister Ho Quoc Dung said that the Government and the Central Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front have agreed to provide cash support of 10 million VND for each household with collapsed houses and 5 million VND for each household with damaged houses.

"This is a very humane policy. Because after rebuilding the house, people in the flooded areas have nothing left in hand, all the furniture and assets in the house have been swept away and lost. The Vietnam Fatherland Front of the province needs to implement immediately so that people can soon buy essential items to celebrate Tet," the Deputy Prime Minister requested.
