(HBO) - Criteria No. 17 related to the environment was identified by Lac Son district as important content, especially for communes striving to meet new rural standards. To achieve the target, it is necessary to mobilise the participation of the whole political system, agencies, business community and the people.
The Women's Union of Van Son commune
(Lac Son District) calls on its members of Loi Muong hamlet to collect and
treat domestic waste at the right place.
This year, the district will continue to promote dissemination to enhance
awareness of the people, authorities and mass organisations.
People are encouraged to take measures to clean the environment in their
residential areas, along with the mobilization of the private sector in
environmental protection and investing in the construction of a centralised
waste treatment area among communes. The "All people unite to build a
cultural life" movement is carried out along with the realisation of
village conventions on rural environmental protection. People are
encouraged to lead a civilised life and cultural family as well as develop
production and animal husbandry in association with environmental protection.
Bui Thanh Tung, Vice Chairman of the district People's Committee, said the
district focuses on disseminating legal documents to fulfil criteria No 17 and
new rural buildings in the management of environmental protection. Businesses,
production and business establishments in the area are facilitated in the
observation of environmental protection regulations.
Up to now, the rate of households using hygienic and clean water has reached 98
percent. The percentage of businesses, aquatic farms and craft villages that
meet regulations on environmental protection is 65 percent. Solid waste and
wastewater in residential areas, production and business establishments have
been collected and treated in line with regulations.
Implementing environmental criteria No. 17, the district has 75 percent of
households with hygienic toilets. Seven out of 24 communes are assessed to
satisfy the criteria for waste treatment. Seven communes have fulfilled the
criteria set for new-style rural areas. The district is striving to have
two more communes meeting the criteria by the end of this year, namely Tan Lap
and Yen Phu.

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.
