Regarding the elimination of temporary and dilapidated houses, the Prime Minister said that the initial plan was expected to be completed by 2030. However, in reality, ministries, branches and localities have shown high awareness and performed very well, especially in the context of the 80th anniversary of the founding of the country, so we are determined to shorten the completion time of this program.
