Quan Son speeds up resettlement projects

The project to arrange and stabilize residents in Min and Luoc Lau villages is being completed and handed over by the contractor in June 2025.

The project to arrange and stabilize the population for households in Min and Luoc Lau villages, Muong Min commune (Pom Dung resettlement area) has a total area of ​​5.2 hectares, with an investment of nearly 31 billion VND. Construction started in January 2024, the project is expected to be completed in 2025, aiming to hand over to 81 households to live, contributing to sustainable poverty reduction, environmental protection, new rural construction and strengthening national defense and security.

Regarding the project progress, the representative of the construction contractor - Mr. Hoang Trong Thanh, technical officer of Khanh Linh Investment and Construction Joint Stock Company, said: The project has completed 70% of the construction volume and aims to complete and hand over the infrastructure in June 2025. During the project implementation, the unit encountered many difficulties, especially weather and site factors. Currently, about 25% of the remaining construction volume is stuck in the rock, forcing the unit to take appropriate demolition measures to ensure the project progress.

The resettlement project of Luoc Lau village and the resettlement project of Yen village (Muong Min commune) are in the process of implementing investment preparation steps, striving to start construction in 2025. In particular, the resettlement project for 49 households of Yen village has a total investment of 14.7 billion VND. During the survey process, the initially determined location was not suitable for the construction of a concentrated resettlement area, so Quan Son district has carried out the procedures to adjust the project, so that construction can be started soon.

With the arrangement of interlaced resettlement, after reviewing according to Decision No. 4845/QD-UBND dated December 1, 2021 of the Provincial People's Committee approving the Project on arranging and stabilizing residents in areas at high risk of flash floods, landslides in mountainous districts in the period of 2021-2025, Quan Son district has 110 households. In 2024, the number of households that have moved to new safe places is 8 households; the number of households that have not moved to safe places is 102 households. Particularly, the housing construction program for interlaced resettlement households, implemented according to Directive No. 22-CT/TU on the Campaign to support housing construction for poor households, policy households, and households with housing difficulties in the province in the 2 years of 2024-2025, Quan Son district has 107 households approved, of which the total number of households that have built and are building houses is 10 households; The total number of households building houses in 2025 is 12 households; the total number of households committed to not moving their houses is 85 households...

Talking to us, Vice Chairman of Muong Min Commune People's Committee Pham Ba Lap said that the reason why many households committed not to relocate to resettlement areas was mostly because they had built permanent houses and were doing business. The relocation of resettlement areas did not guarantee the level of support for households to relocate. In addition, the location of the new resettlement area was not suitable for households to continue doing business.

Mr. Vi Van H. in Luoc Lau village shared: “My family has been attached to the land and gardens for many years and has built solidly. Now moving to a new place, far from the source of livelihood, with low relocation support costs, will be very difficult for the family.”

Ms. Ha Thi H., a service trader in Muong Min commune, confided: “I agree with the relocation for safety, but the resettlement area is not suitable for households to continue their business. If the State has a policy to support more livestock farming or trading, people will be less worried.”

Head of the Department of Agriculture and Environment of Quan Son district, Ha Van Toan, said: The implementation of interlaced resettlement has encountered certain difficulties. In addition to the low relocation policy, the land area managed by the People's Committees of communes and towns is very limited, causing certain difficulties in arranging resettlement. For the implementation of adjacent and concentrated resettlement, finding land to arrange resettlement for households has encountered many difficulties due to the lack of land to implement. The project must recover land and architectural structures, but has not been allocated capital to carry out site clearance. The infrastructure is not synchronous, the investment cost is high, due to high transportation costs and unfavorable terrain...

"To overcome the above difficulties, the district is making efforts to propagate and mobilize people to relocate to new, safe places. In addition, the district also recommends that the Provincial People's Committee have policies to support production development projects for households that relocate to concentrated, adjacent resettlement areas to ensure early stabilization of people's lives," Mr. Toan added.
