350-day and night peak period to complete program on eliminating temporary and dilapidated houses implemented

On the afternoon of January 12, the Central Steering Committee for the elimination of temporary and dilapidated houses nationwide held its second nationwide online meeting at all four levels to evaluate the situation and results of the program to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses in 2024 and implement tasks for 2025. Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh, Head of the Central Steering Committee, chaired the meeting.

At the Binh Duong online meeting site, the meeting was attended by Nguyen Loc Ha, Member of provincial Party Standing, Vice Chairman of provincial People's Committee; Nguyen Van Danh, Chairman of provincial Fatherland Front Committee, along with leaders of various provincial departments, agencies and sectors.

Eliminating temporary and dilapidated houses nationwide is an important program that realizes the Party's policies and guidelines. It reflects the noble nature of our regime, bringing a prosperous and happy life to people.

According to a report by the Ministry of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs, as of now, 20 provinces and cities nationwide have set the goal of completing the elimination of temporary and dilapidated houses earlier than required, before and during the third quarter of 2025; 13 localities have issued decisions approving the need to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses in their areas.

In his opening speech at the meeting, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh stated that since the first meeting, the country has completed and handed over more than 44,000 houses and is currently constructing 34,200 houses. By the end of 2025, approximately 240,000 houses still need to be completed while the implementation time is very tight, with less than 350 days remaining. Therefore, it is essential to focus on implementing the 350-day and night peak period to successfully complete the program in 2025.

To implement this meaningful program, Binh Duong province has been tasked with supporting the two provinces of Nghe An and Bac Lieu with VND 90 billion. Additionally, Binh Duong is also expected to allocate funding for the construction and repair of 557 houses for poor households in the province, with VND 44.65 billion.
