Demolition of temporary and dilapidated houses in Ha Tinh City: "Countdown" to handover to residents

Secretary of the City Party Committee Tran Viet Ha inspected the progress of building a new house for Ms. Le Thi Xuan's household in Van Thinh residential group (Van Yen ward).

Stick to daily schedule

After days of worry, the house of Ms. Le Thi Xuan's family, a poor, single-parent household in Van Thinh residential area (Van Yen ward) was officially started at the end of March. In less than a week, the entire ^70m2 foundation infrastructure was completed. This result was achieved thanks to the efforts of the local government in propaganda and encouragement for the family, as well as the participation of mass organizations and neighbors who "rolled up their sleeves" to speed up the construction progress.

Ms. Le Thi Xuan said: “My family is poor, my brother (who is disabled) and I depend on each other to live. The house we live in has been dilapidated for many years, but because of difficult circumstances, we still have to live temporarily year after year. Now that the State has supported 70 million VND to rebuild a new, solid house, I am very happy. On the day the old house was demolished, the ward mobilized forces from the Farmers' Association, Women's Association, Youth Union, and people in the residential group, up to dozens of people to help; many people even lent me more money..., my worries were relieved. In just a few days, the site was cleared, creating favorable conditions for the project to start.”

Before starting construction, Ms. Le Thi Xuan's house was moved by the ward forces, soon having a site for construction.

According to the review, the entire Van Yen ward has built and repaired 7 houses (3 newly built houses, 4 repaired houses), of which 2 houses are for poor households, 2 houses are for near-poor households and 3 houses are for meritorious families. Up to now, 3/3 of the newly built houses have completed the foundation, 1/4 of the houses that need to be repaired have been completed and are ready to be handed over to the people.

Mr. Le Dinh Thang - Party Secretary, Head of the Steering Committee for Eliminating Temporary and Dilapidated Houses in Van Yen Ward said: "The Ward Steering Committee assigned teams and directed members to follow the progress of each house. Currently, we are focusing on supporting families to fill the foundation, taking advantage of favorable weather to build as soon as possible and follow the daily progress. At the same time, mobilizing social resources, in addition to the support of 70 million VND/house for newly built houses and 30 million VND/house for repaired houses from the Central Government, the ward has called for more than 65 million VND to support people with additional funds and materials for construction works".

Sharing the same joyful mood, the new house of Mr. Nguyen Van Bau (born in 1947), a poor household in residential group 10, Dai Nai ward, has also completed the foundation construction. He also received support of 70 million VND to build a new house. “In just over a month, my family will have a new, spacious house, no longer worried about flooding or dampness during the rainy season. In addition to financial support, officers and forces of the ward and residential group regularly come back and forth to check and urge the progress; neighbors help 100% of the construction, helping the family save more costs.”

The house of Mr. Tran Phuong Ty, a 4/4 disabled veteran and 2/3 sick soldier in Dai Nai ward, has been almost completely replaced thanks to housing repair support (30 million VND) and support from relatives.

With "lightning-fast" progress, by March 29, Dai Nai ward had completed the construction of 7/7 new and repaired houses for poor households and families of meritorious people.

Mr. Tran Trong Dung - Party Secretary, Head of the Steering Committee for Eliminating Temporary and Dilapidated Houses in Dai Nai Ward said: "Each project has a specific plan, arranging Steering Committee members and human resources to participate in the implementation to help people follow the progress, quality and avoid any delay at any time. While directing the construction work, the ward continues to mobilize social resources for funding, supplies and materials to provide maximum support to families. Strive to complete 100% of the repaired houses before April 15 and complete the built houses by May 19 and hand them over to the people."
