Secretary of the provincial Party Committee Bui Van Tinh and his entourage inspect a landslide site at residential area 26 in Dong Tien ward, Hoa Binh city.

Due to floods in 2017 and 2018 and water discharge of Hoa Binh Hydropower Plant, cracks and landslides were found at residential area 26 in Dong Tien ward, Hoa Binh city, at about 10a.m on July 30, 2017, which have greatly affected production and daily life of local residents.

Given this, the provincial People’s Committee sent forces and equipment to evacuate people and assets to safer places. A total of 33 households have been moved to Trung Minh commune’s resettlement area. Thirty two households have received land for resettlement and 24 of them have begun housing construction.

Speaking at the working session, Tinh expressed his sympathy over losses and difficulties facing people at residential area 26 in Dong Tien ward. He asked the provincial People’s Committee to reclaim land of households who have received resettlement land and not allow any family to stay in areas vulnerable to landslides. Households should be forced to move when necessary, he said.

Stressing the need to promptly complete infrastructure to help locals soon stabilise their lives, Tinh said each resident should get 15kg of rice within three years.

Better communication work will help improve public awareness of natural disaster combat, he added, noting that sand and gravel gathering sites along the two banks of the Da River must be dispersed.

Landslide risks should be announced to avoid incidents in 2019 and the years to come at residential areas 25 and 26 in Dong Tien ward, and mechanisms to support people in residential areas in seeking jobs should be issued to help them stabilise their lives in both short and long terms, he said.
