Hoa Binh proposed the Deputy PM consider the
provision of 420 billion VND (18.5 million USD) in financial support for the
evacuation and resettlement of disaster-hit families, and another 340 billion
VND (15 million USD) for addressing landslides in the areas of Ong Tuong Hill
and National Highway 6.
Further briefing on local situation, Secretary
of the provincial Party Committee Bui Van Tinh asked the Deputy PM, ministries
and central agencies to further support his province to stablise the life of
people displaced from Hoa Binh Lake and pay compensation to residents who moved
their houses to serve the construction of Road 12B.
At the working session, Deputy PM Trinh Dinh
Dung recognised local socio-economic attainments, noting that Hoa Binh has
summoned efforts to address serious natural disaster consequences, thus helping
local people ease pain and losses. It has also paid attention to economic
restructuring and applied multiple models to tap its potential to boost
development.
He said in the time ahead, the province needs to
keep close coordination with ministries and central agencies to overhaul and
update the plans for each sector. It should associate its development plans
with the overall development of the Capital City Region, press on with economic
restructuring, and optimise potential to create new development driving forces.
Particularly, the province should capitalise on its potential for industry,
agriculture and services so as to make master plans for the short, medium and
long terms.
It is necessary to adapt the planning of
residential areas to the natural disaster prevention and climate change
response programme while keeping attention to the settlement of disaster
aftermath, the construction of resettlement areas, and ensuring long-term
livelihoods for locals. Hoa Binh also needs to step up the response to the
severe cold to ensure agricultural activities.
Deputy PM Trinh Dinh Dung assigned relevant
ministries to work closely with Hoa Binh to promptly assess landslide risks to
