Lao Cai officials and people are interested in the policy of merging provinces.

As a locality expected to be reorganized and merged, basically the people, cadres, party members, civil servants and public employees of Lao Cai province expressed their high agreement and support, and absolute trust in the revolution to reorganize the Party's organization and apparatus.

People are concerned about the merger of provinces.

These days, Mr. Dinh Truong Son in Group 9, Pom Han Ward, Lao Cai City, and Party members in the Party Cell spend a lot of time following the merger policy. Merging many provinces and communes and eliminating the district level will increase the space and potential for development, reduce administrative burdens, and reserve resources for investment in national development in the era of development. Mr. Son shared: “The merger, streamlining the apparatus, and stabilizing the organization are absolutely correct. Eliminating the intermediate level is very reasonable. People like it there. Developing the environment, people's lives are good. Economic security is very important, the Party and the State will have an analysis on this issue”.

When merging 2 or 3 adjacent provincial areas, one locality will be chosen as the administrative center. What people want is that the chosen provincial center must meet the best conditions for working and living.

Mr. Dinh Xuan Thang, Secretary of Party Cell 9, Pom Han Ward, Lao Cai City said: "People need convenient central locations for living, traveling, and doing business, and have public administrative locations for people, entertainment venues, parks, and full infrastructure facilities."

It is necessary to ensure facilities and living conditions for cadres, workers and civil servants during the merger.

When merging provinces, a number of civil servants and public employees will be forced to change their workplace and residence. Ensuring facilities and living conditions so that officials can work with peace of mind needs special attention.

Mr. Le Van Hien, Head of Training Management and Scientific Research Department, Lao Cai Provincial Political School expressed: "We really hope that the locality will be chosen as the administrative center of the new province. This will be a place with good conditions, basically meeting the immediate needs of headquarters as well as conditions to serve the working and living needs of cadres, civil servants, public employees and their families, avoiding wasting the State's investment resources".

Lao Cai has prepared all conditions for the new province after the merger to operate effectively.

Mr. Duong Duc Huy, Standing Committee member, Head of the Provincial Party Committee's Propaganda and Mass Mobilization Commission, emphasized: "In the draft Resolution of the National Assembly Standing Committee on the arrangement of administrative units drafted by the Ministry of Home Affairs, there is also a policy for local authorities to arrange public housing, issue policies to support travel and working conditions for officials at the new administrative center. In addition, the local authorities where the administrative headquarters of the new administrative unit is expected to be located after the arrangement are responsible for balancing and allocating budget sources to repair, renovate and upgrade the offices that are still in use."

With the spirit of “running and lining up at the same time” , the initial steps of merging provinces, merging communes, and abolishing district level will have difficulties that need to be overcome. Besides the determination and great efforts of the Party and the State, solidarity, unanimity, overcoming difficulties , even accepting to sacrifice personal interests so that the revolution in arranging administrative units and streamlining the apparatus can be successful, becoming a great driving force for the country to enter an era of strong and prosperous development.
