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./.
Administrative reform has been identified as a key priority in enhancing state governance, improving the business environment, and facilitating services for citizens and enterprises.
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.
