The new Nhun hamlet in Yen Phu commune, Lac Son district is one of the eight resettlement areas in the Canh Tang reservoir project, while the old Nhun hamlet is now submerged. The hamlet, about three kilometres away from the commune’s centre, is now home to more than 100 households.

 Part of the Nhun resettlement area in Yen Phu commune, Lac Son district.


Almost all houses in the resettlement area are permanent houses built at a cost of at least 1 billion VND (41,000 USD) each. In 2029, the district and commune authorities called on people in the former Nhun hamlet to relocate to make room for the construction of the Canh Tang reservoir.

About 100 households were arranged in the resettlement area with sufficient infrastructure including concrete roads, lighting systems, and community houses. Each household was allocated 400 sq.m of land to build a house.

Bui Van Binh, the land management official of Yen Phu commune said that the commune has two resettlement areas for people relocated for the reservoir, which are Da Moi and Nhun hamlets. He said that at the beginning of the relocation, people did not want to go far from their fields and ancestors' graves. However, the entire political system including cadres, Party members, and prestigious persons joined hands to persuade people to follow the Government’s policy. Meanwhile, relevant units and investors implemented solutions to remove difficulties in compensation.

The Canh Tang reservoir project is one of the four key projects of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development and a key project of the province. It is considered a major irrigation project in the North, with a capacity of about 91 million cubic metres. A total of 652 households had to move for the reservoir’s construction.

The Lac Son district People's Committee built eight resettlement areas for people in eight hamlets of three communes - Van Nghia, Binh Hem, and Yen Phu.
