However, the commune faced a lot of difficulties in traffic. The local main income was gained from orchard economy (lychee and forestry). Local farmers must pass Tong Lenh float bridge to bring lychee to Luc Ngan district. At the lychee harvest season, the congestion often occurs leading to high risk of unsafety. Thus, local authority in the commune proposed the province and district to support building concrete bridge via Luc Nam River.
Implementing the plan to realize new style rural building, the commune has yet to complete some criteria. So, the commune also suggested the People’s Committee in the province and district to continue assisting on poverty reduction and new style rural building.
After discussing and clarifying relevant issues, PPC Chairman Le Anh Duong acknowledged the achievement of the Party, authority and people in Truong Giang commune, especially in poverty reduction.
