At the meeting, Working Group No. 5 listened to officials, district leaders and departments, and comrades expected to be chairmen of the People's Committees of the 4 new wards express their opinions on the difficulties and problems in organizing the new ward apparatus.

In addition to recommendations and proposals related to headquarters, facilities arrangement, financial handover, budget, and projects, Long Bien district officials also proposed a number of issues related to names and signs... In particular, Vice Chairwoman of Long Bien District People's Committee Nguyen Thi Thanh Hang proposed that the city unify the signs of new wards and communes throughout the city and guide the naming of residential groups with the same name and number when merging wards.

Regarding the issue of signs, Deputy Director of the Department of Home Affairs Nguyen Chi Doan said that currently there is no guidance on a common standard model, so localities still follow the spirit of promoting creativity to implement.

However, in the conclusion of the meeting, Vice Chairman of Hanoi People's Committee Vu Thu Ha requested Deputy Director of the Department of Home Affairs Nguyen Chi Doan to report to the Director of the Department on this issue to advise the City People's Committee on specific and unified instructions for the entire city, in the direction that if there is no general instruction, it is necessary to issue temporary instructions, regulating both the content and form of signs, to avoid the situation where each place has its own style.

Regarding the content of naming residential groups, Deputy Director of the Department of Home Affairs Nguyen Chi Doan said that this content is specifically regulated in the Law on Organization of Local Government and is under the authority of the Ward People's Council.
