As a mountainous district with complex and strongly divided terrain, extreme weather events often occur, leading to many dangerous natural disasters such as landslides, flash floods, rock falls, etc., Yen Lap always pays attention to planning, arranging, and stabilizing the population. Project 2 under the National Target Program (NTP) for Socio-Economic Development of Ethnic Minorities and Mountainous Areas (EMMA) has provided additional resources for the district to effectively carry out this work.
Comrade Nguyen Thanh Trung - Vice Chairman of Yen Lap District People's Committee shared: The whole district of Yen Lap has over 80% of the population being ethnic minorities, living mainly in remote, isolated and extremely disadvantaged areas. Therefore, Project 2 on planning, arranging and stabilizing the population in necessary places under the National Target Program on Socio-Economic Development of Ethnic Minorities and Mountainous Areas is very important to stabilize people's lives.
Project 2 aims to create conditions for households to be settled in the form of concentrated resettlement, interspersed resettlement or on-site resettlement according to the planning. Accordingly, beneficiaries of the project include: Ethnic minority households that still practice shifting cultivation and nomadic living; households and individuals who freely migrate to extremely disadvantaged communes and villages; households and individuals living in extremely disadvantaged areas, areas where natural disasters frequently occur or are at risk of natural disasters and need to be resettled; households and individuals who voluntarily move to live in residential areas according to the planning and plans of the State; extremely disadvantaged communes and villages in ethnic minority and mountainous areas...
With a wide range of support objects and diverse support contents, the project of planning, arranging and stabilizing residents in necessary places under the National Target Program for Socio-Economic Development of Ethnic Minorities and Mountainous Areas has great significance, contributing to the settlement and employment of ethnic minorities. Comrade Bui Xuan Tien - Director of the Management Board of Investment and Construction Projects of Yen Lap district said: For Yen Lap district, due to the complex and strongly divided terrain, extreme weather phenomena often occur, leading to many dangerous natural disasters such as landslides, flash floods, landslides, rolling rocks, etc.; the rate of ethnic minorities in poor and near-poor households is high, so the implementation of the program becomes even more meaningful and urgent.
Implementing Project 2 on planning, arranging and stabilizing residents in necessary areas, from 2021 to present, Yen Lap has been allocated more than 27 billion VND to support investment in residential stabilization projects, with priority given to implementation in difficult areas, urgent areas at risk of landslides and affected by natural disasters. In particular, the residential stabilization project in Luong Son commune has a total infrastructure construction area of 22,155.4 m2; enough area for 20 households with an area of about 400 m2/lot and essential infrastructure. The residential stabilization project in My Luong commune has an area of 24,321.8 m2; enough area for 31 households with an area of about 400 m2/lot and essential infrastructure.
Up to now, the project to arrange and stabilize the population of My Luong commune has completed the construction of the items of leveling the ground, making drainage ditches, pouring concrete on the road surface, erecting electric poles... The construction unit is installing electric wires, building traffic curbs, and gathering 30 D1000 culvert segments 2 long to serve the construction of the item of adding drainage ditches for the second time. The project to arrange and stabilize the population of Luong Son commune has completed the construction of leveling the ground, making traffic roads, drainage systems, low-voltage electricity, and is waiting for the results of the inspection of the acceptance of the completed project before putting it into use.
Comrade Nguyen Van Xuan - Chairman of the People's Committee of Luong Son commune said: As a mountainous commune with many difficulties, in recent years, due to the impact of climate change, many landslide-prone areas have appeared in the commune. Therefore, when implementing the construction of concentrated residential areas, the commune closely coordinated with the district to do a good job of propaganda and mobilizing people to quickly carry out site clearance. The project started in early 2024 and has now been basically completed. The locality has organized meetings with residential areas, reviewed households in landslide-prone and landslide-prone areas, and coordinated with the Land Registration Office and the District Department of Natural Resources and Environment to carry out procedures for converting land use purposes as a basis for allocating land to subjects. For mountainous areas with a large ethnic minority population and often affected by natural disasters like Luong Son, timely planning, arrangement, and stabilization of the population as above is extremely important, creating conditions for households to have stable housing, minimizing damage caused by natural disasters, eliminating the situation of free shifting cultivation, solving employment and contributing to sustainable poverty reduction for the people.
