Havana_ The Cuban president, Miguel Mario Díaz-Canell Bermudez, led a meeting of the Integral Program for the 500 Anniversary of the Havana Foundation, during which he was made aware of the progress and deficiencies in the city, Prensa Latina reports.

In the most recent meeting of the Government Support Group to the capital, the authorities of this city reported on the main actions, especially in the construction of housing, the repair of hospitals, schools, cultural and recreational facilities, and the rehabilitation of hydraulic, electric and gas networks.

As for the housing plan, it was known that of the 568 planned until June 496 are completed, from which 461 were delivered to families housed in temporary housing, inhabitants of buildings in critical condition and social cases.

Díaz-Canel was interested in the local production of inputs, the manufacture of houses by own effort, the situation of the stores where construction materials are sold and that of the capital's large markets after several inspections carried out in them.

The president of the Provincial Assembly of the People's Power in Havana, Reynaldo García, after these operations 91 disciplinary measures were applied and other criminal proceedings are currently in process.

For Diaz-Canel, the important thing after these inspections is that legality must be restored and that the establishments operate well.

During the meeting it was also reported that the authorities continues looking for alternatives to increase public transport service, which still does not meet the demand of the Havana’s population.

The Cuban president insisted on the need to reinforce the control in the bus terminals to avoid that the efforts and investments made to prioritize the capital of the country are lost with theft and disorder.

Havana will celebrate 500 years in November 2019. To commemorate the date in the capital of the Island an ambitious plan for the economic and social transformation of the territory is being carried out.
