(HBO) - Chairman of the Hoa Binh People's Committee Nguyen Van Quang chaired a meeting to discuss solutions to manage markers of the safety corridor of Hoa Lac-Hoa Binh highway. Participating in the meeting were Vice Chairman of the provincial People's Committee Bui Van Khanh; representatives of the Vietnam Road Administration under the Ministry of Transport, departments and agencies; leaders of villages and hamlets along the highway as well as Ky Son district, Hoa Binh city and investors of Hoa Lac-Hoa Binh highway.

Chairman of Hoa Binh People’s Committee Nguyen
Van Quang concludes the meeting.
The Hoa Lac - Hoa Binh
road has a total length of 25.69km. The section passing Hoa Binh province is
19.32km long, which has been opened but has not yet been checked and taken over.
However, the protection of transport infrastructure has faced many difficulties.
In particular, many local households encroached on the land already cleared to
serve as the highway’s safety corridor, while the management of planning
markers of Hoa Lac-Hoa Binh highway has not been implemented. There is also a
lack of legal basis to define responsibilities of agencies and units in the
management of land inside the boundary of the Hoa Lac-Hoa Binh highway.
Speaking at the
meeting, Chairman of the provincial People's Committee Nguyen Van Quang said
that localities are already aware of the importance of the highway and its management
requirements. He requested the office of the provincial People's Committee and
advisory agencies to promptly build management regulations based on existing laws
and the real situation at the site, thus ensuring the regulations’ feasibility and
effectiveness. Investors should restore the road’s markers in January 2019, and
hand over to local authorities for management.
He also urged strengthening
the management of the current road corridor and the boundary markers of Hoa
Lac-Hoa Binh highway, adding that the status quo of land use must be maintained
while the change of land use purposes should be limited.
It is necessary to
review legal grounds for managing the planning of Hoa Lac-Hoa Binh highway, he
said, asking the provincial Department of Transport to soon issue brief and simple-to-understand
regulations on the management of Hoa Lac-Hoa Binh highway corridor to serve
communication purpose.
Chairman of the
provincial People's Committee emphasized that the heads of local governments
are responsible for the management of the Hoa Lac-Hoa Binh highway corridor./.
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.
