Attention is paid to creating a green, clean and nice environment.

In recent times, the provincial authorities take interest in the health sector in terms of medical equipment, medicines, and drugs for patients, and not being subject to any diseases. The implementation of social security policies is taken for the sake of the poor and ethnic minority areas. Besides, administrative discipline is strengthened while the responsibility of leaders, cadres, and civil servants is highly heightened so that there are no more situations of pushing and evading responsibility. All the tasks are for better care for the people across the province.
