In 2017, the department recommended
the provincial People’s Committee issue a number of documents, such as the auto

planning toward 2025, a project to build cement roads for 2017 – 2020, and pilot
operation of electric buses to serve tourists to Tien Pagoda in Phu Lao
commune, Lac Thuy district.
Concerning the management
of transport, vehicles and drivers, the department always requested transport
companies, bus stations, and wharves to build plans, prepare vehicles and other
necessaries to ensure safe and smooth travelling. It also assessed and
classified local bus stations following the national technical standards. Statistics
showed that Hoa Binh had 103 transport companies and hundreds of household
businesses operating in the sector, with 711 vehicles.
Last year, local roads
were severely affected by heavy rains and storms, particularly a low-pressure
tropical storm taking place from October 9-12 which caused damage worth billions
of VND. The sector worked with relevant forces to promptly handle transport
disruptions.
In addition to traffic law
education, the sector checked 2,363 vehicles and found 865 of which violating
the law, collecting total fines of 6.64 billion VND and revoking 393 driving
licences.
The conference discussed
measures to fulfill tasks set for the sector in 2018.
Addressing the event, Bui
Van Khanh, Vice Chairman of the Hoa Binh People’s Committee, lauded the role of
the transport sector last year and asked the sector to continue administrative
reform, improve management, and ensure traffic safety.
He recommended the
department work with the Finance Department to develop rural transport
infrastructure, and put forth measures to attract investment in infrastructure
projects.

During this Lunar New Year (Tet), residents of Vay Nua commune, Da Bac district are joyfully celebrating the arrival of spring with various festive activities.

Funded by Agribank Hoa Binh with a total investment of approximately 80 million VND (over 3,100 USD), the project has already proven beneficial. Not only does it enhance the rural landscape, but it also improves road safety and security, adding to the New Year’s cheer for the people of Vay Nua.
Nestled in Tan Lac district, Van Son commune boasts a breathtaking landscape reminiscent of a serene, poetic painting. Winding roads gracefully embrace the hillsides, enhancing the commune’s natural charm. As spring spreads its vibrant colours, the lives of local people continue to improve day by day.
The trade union of Hoa Binh province’s industrial parks has presented meaningful gifts to workers with difficulties, ensuring that they will have a warm Lunar New Year (Tet) holiday.
According to the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development's report, in 2024, the appropriate authorities regularly propagated and disseminated forest protection management, forest development, and forest fire prevention and fighting.
