Ninh Thuan (VNA) – The south central province of Ninh Thuan is striving to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses by June this year, demonstrating its commitment to imprꦏoving living conditions for its vulnerable residents.

Highlighting the significance of strict oversight to prevent any misuse of resources, wastefulness and negative phenomena, he ordered competent departments and sectors to assess the actual housing conditions of beneficiaries who are eligible for new home construction or repairs. Besides, they must take full responsibility for the number of approved housing units, with the review process to be completed by March, enabling the harmonious implementation across the province beginning in April 2025.
