The establishment of the steering committee highlights Hanoi’s determination to lead the nation in preventing waste and optimising the management of public assets. The formation of the committee is in alignment with Hanoi’s commitment to building a transparent, effective administration that prioritises community welfare and efficient public asset management.

Following its establishment, the steering committee convened to assess the progress and challenges of the Phung Khoang Lake Park project, spanning Nam Tu Liem and Thanh Xuan districts, which has garnered public attention due to prolonged obstacles. Hanoi aims to start construction immediately and complete the project before the Lunar New Year 2025.

At a meeting on October 30, Hanoi People’s Committee addressed critical issues in significant projects, including 148 Giang Vo, Phap Van-Tu Hiep Student Housing, and Kim Quy Park. These efforts have accelerated project timelines, improved investment efficiency, and contributed to the socioeconomic development of the city.

Chairman Tran Sy Thanh called for heightened accountability among residents, civil servants, and public officials in combating the waste of public assets. He stressed the need for collective efforts to unlock potential resources and generate tangible benefits for society.

To facilitate public involvement, Hanoi People’s Committee has introduced official channels for citizens to report instances of waste or inefficiency. Feedback can be submitted via the city’s electronic information portal (https://hanoi.gov.vn) or the iHanoi application for Hanoi citizens.
