Thanks to propaganda about people's legitimate rights and interests in upgrading and expanding alleys and bridges, the district administration received people’s advocacy of locals. Residents’ advocacy and social contribution of funds for implementation of the projects are the key factors leading to the success in upgrading and expanding alleys and bridges in the district, said Mr. Le Van Thanh.
