Under a document recently sent to the provincial and municipal People’s Committees, the ministry ordered a look-back at the projects, including operational ones and those that have yet to be put into use as of February 2022.
For the operational projects, the provincial and municipal People’s Committees should evaluate their operations, and take note of difficulties facing them (if any), according to the document.
For those that have yet to be put into operation, the provincial and municipal People’s Committees need to provide updates on the project progress, along with obstacles regarding land, technical infrastructure and finance, and propose solutions to them.
Reports should be sent to the ministry before March 7.
