The peaceful "oasis”.
The resettlement area of Da Tu hamlet is called an "oasis” because it is located on a hill with an upside-down topography, and it is almost separated from the outside. However, they are used to traveling by boat, so it is not so inconvenient to spend 5 minutes to cross the Da river to the other side for the local people. Pointing to the opposite direction, where the great grandparents used to live, Ms. Dinh Thi Hue recalled: Then, with the uneven terrain, facing with a month-long flood that caused all of the families' houses to crack and sink. That was also the reason why 33 out of the 77 households in Tup and Tre hamlets (now merged into Tup hamlet) had to relocate immediately from the unsafe landslide point.
After moving to Da Tu resettlement area in Tien Phong commune (Da Bac), Ms. Dinh Thi Hue's family has settled down.
Moving to the new place of residence, the households have been paid attention. to the infrastructure arrangement by the province. All the families moving there have been supported 20 million VND, some, due to more severe damage, have been supported 40 million VND to build their houses. The total investment cost to build the resettlement area is 54 billion VND. In particular, the resettlement area has been carefully selected and surveyed to ensure safety, especially to avoid the risks of natural disasters and landslides. Mr. Dinh Cong Canh, one of the households living in the resettlement area, said: When I was still living in the old place, every time when it rained and windy, I was really afraid of houses collapsed. Since moving to the resettlement area, more than 3 rainy and stormy seasons have passed, the households have stabilized their shelter. Although the "oasis” is sadder than the old place due to its independent terrain, life is more stable and the houses are built firmly. The families have access to electricity for lighting, adequate clean water supply, and convenient and sustainable concrete paths...
