Ground levelling work in the
project to prevent landslides in the east of the Ong Tuong hill (Hoa Binh
city).
In mid-October 2017, Hoa Binh city suffered from three landslides triggered by
historic downpours in the east of Ong Tuong hill, former Cham Mat ward and Thai
Binh ward in Hoa Binh city.
Of note, offices of the provincial Party committee, People’s Council and
provincial agencies are located below and next to the high-risk areas.
To protect people’s lives and assets as well as public infrastructure and
traffic flow in An Duong Vuong route, the Hoa Binh People’s Committee has asked
for the acceleration of the urgent project to address landslide-prone areas in
the east of Ong Tuong hill, along with three residential clusters in the former
Cham Mat ward and one in Thai Binh ward.
Most of the local households in the former Cham Mat ward and Thai Binh ward
have resettled in safer places. A management board on projects for agriculture
and rural development submitted a plan for approval of the provincial People’s
Committee on the arrangement of bidding to select the project’s constructor.
For the project to address landslides in Ong Tuong hill’s eartern part, the
contractor had rolled out measures to reduce pressure on the area and drain
water, among others.
Nguyen Huu Thien from the management board said that the project has been
carried out with a budget of nearly 340 billion VND (14.77 million USD), of
which 263 billion USD was for construction and about 15 billion VND for
compensation and support for resettlement.
He added that the amount of work done equalled 264 billion VND as of May 30
this year and that of assembling tasks hit 246.92 billion VND. Investment
capital disbursement stood at 246.76 billion VND./.
With the motto of "polite, dedicated, professional, and lawful,” over the years, Phu Cuong commune in Tan Lac district has gradually improved the quality of processing administrative procedures, winning high satisfaction from local people and businesses.
Stretching over 300 meters, valued at hundreds of million dong and built to the new-style rural standards, a concrete road in De hamlet, Bac Phong commune, Cao Phong district, was completed by the end of 2023 thanks to the collective contributions of armed forces at provincial and district levels coupled with the active participation of military units stationed throughout the district.
Over the years, the People’s Committee of Lac Thuy district has issued many plans and programmes to speed up the administrative reform, aiming to better serve local people and businesses.
Kim Boi district is drafting 23 planning projects which are expected to help boost the local socio-economic development, attract investors, and mobilise resources for development, said Vice chairman of the district People’s Committee Tran Tuan Son.
They include the one on Bo urban area development until 2045, 20 zoning, and 12 on rural residential areas in communes.
This year, Hoa Binh province strives to have eight communes recognised as meeting new-style rural area standards and five communes satisfying exemplary new-style rural area standards. Since the beginning of the year, the provincial People's Committee has drastically directed the implementation of the national target programme on new-style rural area building to fulfil the set target.
Cao Phong district achieved positive socio-economic development results last year as drastic comprehensive measures were implemented with high determination of its whole political system, said the Secretary of the district Party Committee Ha Van Di.
