(HBO) – Deputy Secretary of the Hoa Binh provincial Party Committee and Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Nguyen Van Quang recently inspected the progress of the upgrading of Road 433, which links Hoa Binh city with Da Bac district. He was accompanied by Vice Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Bui Van Khanh.
Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Nguyen Van Quang examines
the sites of some households in May 4 hamlet which have not been handed over
land to the constructor.
The upgrade to the first 23km of Road 433 from
Hoa Binh city to Da Bac district is a key project of the province. It has total
investment of 988 billion VND (43.4 million USD) and began in late 2012. The
project is lagging behind schedule, so work on the Km 0 – Km 9+900 section has
to be extended to December 2018 due to difficulties in capital arrangement and
ground clearance. The slowness is also attributable to traverses complex
terrain, the big volume of construction work.
Listening to reports of the investor,
departments and local administrations, Chairman Quang said Road 433 plays a
crucial role in improving transport connectivity with mountainous communes of
Da Bac district.
However, after years of construction, the
project hasn’t been completed due to certain obstacles, he said, pointing out
the biggest problems in site clearance, resettlement of the displaced people,
and waste dumping site while the rainy season is coming and new problems could
appear.
He noted difficulties in capital sources have
been solved as the contractor pledged to use their own capital for construction.
To put the Km 0 – Km 9+900 section into use in
late 2018, he asked relevant agencies and local authorities to coordinate
closely with one another to address hindrances in site clearance in accordance
with legal regulations.
Regarding the sluggish building of the
resettlement area in Hoa Binh commune, he requested coordination be improved,
responsibilities of relevant agencies and authorities be clarified, and the
construction be accelerated to receive the displaced residents. Meanwhile, issues
related to the waste dumping site must be handled soon to ensure the site’s
sustainability, minimise problems that could arise and help the contractor to
complete the upgrade as schedule.
The provincial Chairman also called for measures
to reduce landslide risks and ensure safety for households in Toan Son commune
of Da Bac district. He assigned the working group of the provincial People’s
Committee Office to monitor the implementation of his instructions.
The Standing Board of the Hoa Binh provincial Party Committee met on March 18 to review and guide major investment projects aimed at boosting local socio-economic development.
The air is thick with the hum of drills and the clatter of machinery as the Hoa Binh – Moc Chau expressway takes shape amid the rugged terrain. Welding sparks illuminate the faces of workers, and concrete mixers churn relentlessly, laying fresh pavement on the newly-carved road. The construction site buzzes with a palpable sense of urgency, particularly in Hoa Binh province where the expressway's future is being forged.
The northern province of Hoa Binh, with over 467,000 hectares of natural forest and more than 100,000 hectares of production forest, holds significant potential for carbon credit market development.
Replacing substandard houses with more sturdy ones by June 30 is the direction given by Nguyen Phi Long, alternate member of the Party Central Committee and Secretary of the Hoa Binh provincial Party Committee, at a meeting held in early March by the provincial Steering Committee for the programme to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses for the needy.
Recognising digital transformation as an inevitable trend, authorities and agencies in Hoa Binh have made great efforts in the work by focusing on three core pillars - digital government, digital society, and digital economy, resulting in enhanced competitiveness, improved investment climate, and ensured economic and social welfare.
In recent years, Da Bac district has improved administrative reform with a one-stop shop mechanism, streamlined inter-agency procedures, and a shift to digital platforms. These efforts have enhanced public service efficiency and contributed to local socio-economic development.
