(HBO) – The northern province of Hoa Binh is striving to have no household live in tents during the upcoming Lunar New Year Festival (Tet), said Nguyen Van Quang, Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee.

Quang made the statement while inspecting the progress of a resettlement project in Lau Bai hamlet, Vay Nua commune (Da Bac district) and holding a meeting with the district’s authorities.

Da Bac district was permitted with five urgent resettlement projects for people in landslide-prone areas, including Nhap hamlet in Dong Ruong commune, Ke hamlet in Muong Chieng commune, Coc area in Suoi Nanh commune, Tup hamlet in Tien Phong commune and Lau Bai hamlet in Vay Nua commune. The projects will arrange new locations for 186 households on a total area of 19.5ha, with an average 200-400 square metres of land allocated for each family.

The works of the projects comprise land clearance, water supply, electricity, inter-roads, primary schools and kindergartens. Total investment for the five resettlement projects was 112.93 billion VND (4.97 million USD), including 8.4 billion VND for land clearance and 4.04 billion VND for moving people to new areas.

In 2017-2018, priority will be given to land clearance, water supply, electricity and schools. Other works such as communal houses and inter-commune roads will be built in the coming years.

Regarding the construction progress, the investors have urged contractors to complete asset inventory and publicise compensation plans for households with reclaimed assets and land. Most of local residents showed their approval and support for the plans and handed over their land to construction units.

In his conclusion, Mr. Nguyen Van Quang, Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee, said the implementation of the resettlement plan has still faced difficulties and shortcomings, which have not been reported promptly to the provincial People’s Committee for settlement. He asked the district People’s Committee to map out a specific plan for the work.

He asked provincial departments and sectors as well as the People’s Committee of Da Bac district, the investors, the project management board and contractors to concentrate human and material resources and work together closely to complete the works of the resettlement areas on schedule.

Difficult and relevant issues should be reported daily to the provincial People’s Committee, he stressed.

The Department of Finance was requested to coordinate with the Department of Labour, War Invalid and Social Affairs and the Fatherland Front to ensure that local households will be provided with adequate assistance.

Meanwhile, as many as 1.5 billion VND will be allocated to around 250 local households to build hygiene toilets.

The same day, Quang and other local officials inspected the construction site of the resettlement area in Lau Bai hamlet, Vay Nua commune (Da Bac district), during which he urged the contractors to quicken the implementation of the project so as to hand over new houses to local residents before the Lunar New Year festival.
