(HBO) – The historic downpours in Hoa Binh province in last October caused widespread flooding and landslides, especially in mountainous areas, threatening life, property and production of local people. The province has over 5,900 households directly affected by natural disasters and in need of being evacuated promptly and for a long-term.
Households in Nam Son commune (Tan Lac
district) set up houses in the resettlement area to move before the 2018 rainy
season.
Competent agencies reported that by the
beginning of April 2018, the implementation of 12 urgent resettlement areas had
basically fulfilled set requirements. Five resettlement areas in Da Bac
district completed and welcomed 25 households of Nhap hamlet. Meanwhile, 23
households built houses in the Lau Bai resettlement area in Vay Nua district,
and house construction of ten others in the area is still underway. All 31
households of the resettlement area of Tup hamlet, Tien Phong commune, received
lands while eight of them built houses. All households of the resettlement area
of Bua Coc hamlet in Suoi Nanh commune, also received lands and 40 households
completed house construction. Twenty out of 29 households in the resettlement
area of Ke hamlet, Muong Chieng district, completed house construction.
Besides, three resettlement areas in Nam Son
commune, Tan Lac district, were promptly formed in order to help 62 households
resettle before this year’s rainy season.
The People’s Committees of Yen Thuy and Mai Chau
districts have coordinated with each other to implement resettlement areas in
Lac Sy and Tan Dan communes, which are prone to landslides.
To speed up the implementation of the
projects, on April 6, 2018, the Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee
issued Document No. 473/UBND-NNTN, asking People’s Committees of Da Bac, Kim
Boi and Tan Lac district, and Hoa Binh city, to mobilise human resources and
materials to move households to new residential areas. The implementation of
power, water, road, dyke and sewage facilities should be sped up in order to
complete resettlement projects by April 30, 2018.
Mai Chau and Yen Thuy districts were also
asked to focus human resources and materials on land clearance, land allocation
to households and resident evacuation.
The document also stressed the need to speed
up the construction of infrastructure and complete the project before the 2018
flooding season.
The provincial departments of agriculture and
rural development, natural resources and environment, construction, and
science-technology were also urged to promptly coordinate with investors of the
project to push the implementation of resettlement projects in the city and
districts under their charge.
The Hoa Binh Power Company will enhance
coordination with the city and districts to promptly set up medium-voltage
power lines and transmission stations at residential areas. Chairpersons of
People’s Committees of the city and districts were requested to report the
progress of the resettlement projects to the Chairperson of the provincial
