The Ha Noi People`s Committee has asked relevant departments to review the progress of social housing projects and report on when the projects will be completed, before July 25.
In particular, the committee stipulated that the report include a description of the challenges affecting projects currently lagging behind schedule and solutions to enable faster progress.
