In addition, the district proposed the Municipal People’s Committee to consider and approve the policy of relocating graves at Binh Hung Hoa Cemetery in the first period; to direct the Department of Finance to review and approve the policy of assigning Binh Tan District to invest in schools and parks in seven abandoned areas.
