(HBO) – Deputy Secretary of the Hoa Binh provincial Party Committee and Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Nguyen Van Quang recently inspected the progress of the upgrading of Road 433, which links Hoa Binh city with Da Bac district. He was accompanied by Vice Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Bui Van Khanh.
Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Nguyen Van Quang examines
the sites of some households in May 4 hamlet which have not been handed over
land to the constructor.
The upgrade to the first 23km of Road 433 from
Hoa Binh city to Da Bac district is a key project of the province. It has total
investment of 988 billion VND (43.4 million USD) and began in late 2012. The
project is lagging behind schedule, so work on the Km 0 – Km 9+900 section has
to be extended to December 2018 due to difficulties in capital arrangement and
ground clearance. The slowness is also attributable to traverses complex
terrain, the big volume of construction work.
Listening to reports of the investor,
departments and local administrations, Chairman Quang said Road 433 plays a
crucial role in improving transport connectivity with mountainous communes of
Da Bac district.
However, after years of construction, the
project hasn’t been completed due to certain obstacles, he said, pointing out
the biggest problems in site clearance, resettlement of the displaced people,
and waste dumping site while the rainy season is coming and new problems could
appear.
He noted difficulties in capital sources have
been solved as the contractor pledged to use their own capital for construction.
To put the Km 0 – Km 9+900 section into use in
late 2018, he asked relevant agencies and local authorities to coordinate
closely with one another to address hindrances in site clearance in accordance
with legal regulations.
Regarding the sluggish building of the
resettlement area in Hoa Binh commune, he requested coordination be improved,
responsibilities of relevant agencies and authorities be clarified, and the
construction be accelerated to receive the displaced residents. Meanwhile, issues
related to the waste dumping site must be handled soon to ensure the site’s
sustainability, minimise problems that could arise and help the contractor to
complete the upgrade as schedule.
The provincial Chairman also called for measures
to reduce landslide risks and ensure safety for households in Toan Son commune
of Da Bac district. He assigned the working group of the provincial People’s
Committee Office to monitor the implementation of his instructions.
Over recent years, the Farmers' Union of Mai Chau district has implemented numerous specific programmes and activities to support its members in developing products under the One Commune One (OCOP) programme. These efforts have contributed to enhancing local agricultural branding, increasing goods value, and improving incomes and living standards for residents.
Since 2022, the Hoa Binh Department of Education and Training has provided advice for the provincial People's Committee to issue Plan No. 219/KH-UBND on November 17, 2022, which outlines the implementation of a project titled "Enhancing the application of Information Technology (IT) and Digital Transformation in Education and Training for the 2022–2025 period, with a vision to 2030.” As of now, the local education sector has made significant progress in IT adoption and digital transformation.
Hoa Binh allocated over 30 trillion VND (nearly 1.18 billion USD) to develop infrastructure systems in ethnic minority and mountainous areas during 2019 - 2024. Priority was given to transport and irrigation infrastructure; markets; schools; medical stations; communal houses; and power grid, telecommunication, radio, and television systems.
The Hoa Binh provincial organising committee for anniversary activities on December 17 held a ceremony to unveil a ceramic mural on the local military-civilian ties and release a book on the Party and political work of the provincial armed forces during 1947 – 2024, in commemoration of the 80th anniversary of the Vietnam People’s Army (VPA) and 35th anniversary of the All-People Defence Festival.
In recent years, Hoa Binh has allocated significant resources to foster cooperative economy, helping ethnic minorities capitalise on their potential and advantages to escape poverty.
As a mountainous district still facing numerous challenges, Da Bac has made notable progress in advancing administrative reforms across various areas. The district has prioritised reorganising and streamlining its administrative apparatus, operating "one-stop-shop” units, and applying information technology (IT) in the handling of administrative procedures. Efforts have also been directed toward upgrading infrastructure and equipment to enhance service quality for residents and businesses.
