Leader of
Xuan Phong commune (Cao Phong district) reported the merger of hamlets to the
Secretary of the provincial Party Committee and leaders of departments and
agencies./.
Xuan Phong is one of the two communes chosen to carry out the
project. After studying guideline documents and State regulations on population
and coverage, the Party Committee and the People’s Committee of Xuan Phong
commune decided to merge Ru 1, Ru 2, Ru 3 hamlets into Ru Giua hamlet.
Accordingly, after the merger, Xuan Phong commune will have a total of 10
hamlets instead of 12. In the near future, the commune plans to continue
mergers to reduce the number of hamlets to 6. The district’s Party Committee,
administration and steering committee will acquire more experience to continue
directing the project.
Concluding the working session, Secretary of the provincial Party Committee Bui
Van Tinh highlighted several key tasks in the near future, including soon
reviewing the project to learn from lessons and issuing new policies to spread
the project across the province, issuing guidelines to promptly settle issues
regarding State apparatus, policies and operating expenses of hamlets and
villages. After mergers, the State will ensure the most favourable conditions
for administrative procedures and effective use of public assets.
He asked for issuing criteria to establish new hamlets such as population,
cultural and religious similarities; classifying hamlets to ensure fair
allowances for part-time cadres, taking flexible approach to arranging
apparatus of hamlets and villages, well performing personnel policy, including
incumbent and retired personnel after mergers, offering guidelines on building
regulations for newly-merged hamlets and villages to uphold solidarity and
close-knit ties in residential areas, thus ensuring local political security
and social safety and order. The district Party Committee, People’s Committee
and administrations of commune will continue joining efforts to ensure
activities of hamlets and villages after mergers./.
