Pieng Ve commune was merged into Bao La commune on January 1, 2020 in line with the National Assembly Standing Committee’s Resolution No. 830 dated December 17, 2019 on the rearrangement of administrative units at district and commune levels.
The section in charge of receiving and returning administrative documents in Bao La commune (Mai Chau district) operates normally after the merger, meeting demand of local residents.
To quickly stabilise its apparatus, the People’s Council of Bao La commune held its first session on February 2 to elect the chairperson of its People’s Committee. The communal Party Committee and administration also built working regulations and assigned tasks to civil servants. The commune organised a conference of officials and civil servants to deploy tasks of the local administration, ensure links with local people in a stable and constant manner.
Leaders of Bao La commune asked relevant agencies of the two former communes to review the completed tasks and pending affairs to map out orientations for direction and settlement.
Statistics of the Bao La People’s Committee showed that since its official operation on February 13, the section in charge of receiving and returning administrative documents served an average of 50 people per day, whom mainly came to adjust their family record books and verify personal documents. On February 18 and 19, the commune handled documents verifying the poor household status of more than 200 families.
After the merger, Bao La commune boasts an area of 66.84 sq.km, with a population of 4,900. Despite an expansion in area, population, a larger number of people coming for administrative procedures and heavier workload, the commune’s civil servants had adapted to the new environment and showed determination to efficiently fulfil their tasks right on the first days.
The local authorities assigned spheres of work and areas in charge by each member of the Party Committee, leaders and members of the People’s Committees, as well as for civil servants in the locality. They also built targets, solutions and orientations for the commune’s socio-economic development in 2020.
In the short term, the communal Party Organisation will focus on instructing the successful organisation of subordinate Party cells and prepare for its congress for the 2020-2025 tenure in June.
The commune will guide local residents to switch to new plants and cattle, and reduce the rate of poor household to 43 percent from 49 percent in 2019./.
