New rural area of ​​Yen Bai, farmers of a commune in Luc Yen district donated land to widen roads, beautifying the village

Yen Bai’s new rural area is achieving many good results. In Tan Phuong commune (Luc Yen district, Yen Bai province), farmers have donated thousands of square meters of land for public works, including roads, striving to reach the new rural area goal in 2025.

The road leading to the residential area and production area of ​​Khieng Khun village (Tan Phuong commune, Luc Yen district, Yen Bai province) is 400m long. Previously, this road was a trail, not yet solidified, so traveling was very difficult, especially in the rainy season.

Implementing the national target program on new rural construction, Khieng Khun village held a meeting to discuss expanding and pouring concrete on this road, and the villagers highly agreed.

However, many sections of the roadbed are still small and do not meet the demand. Through propaganda and mobilization, 7 households have agreed to cut down cinnamon trees, remove fences and give up 1,200 square meters of land to build this road.

Ms. Ban Thi Chi's family is one of seven households that boldly destroyed cinnamon trees and donated 50 square meters to build a road, hoping that after the road is completed, people will travel more conveniently and with less difficulty.

"When donating the land, my family did not ask for compensation with the hope that when this road is completed, everyone will be more united, and the villagers' lives will be more stable and prosperous." - Ms. Ban Thi Chi shared.

Khieng Khun village, Tan Phuong commune currently has 107 households with 461 people, implementing the national target program on new rural construction, from state support funds combined with the diligence and hard work of the people in economic development, so far the village has only 3 poor households.

By doing a good job of propaganda and mobilization, people in Khieng Khun village have had a high consensus in implementing the criteria for building new rural areas of the village.

Accordingly, in 2023 and 2024, 50 households donated over 2,000 square meters of land to build infrastructure projects such as roads to residential areas, cultural houses, and irrigation canals. This has helped the construction projects in Khieng Khun village to always be on schedule, contributing to improving the lives of people in the village.

Mr. Trieu Van Hoa, Secretary of the Party Cell of Khieng Khun village (Tan Phuong commune, Luc Yen district, Yen Bai province) said: "Through propaganda and mobilization work, the people fully responded because they believed that the launching of the new rural village was to build green, clean, and beautiful village roads and alleys for convenient travel, so the mobilization was very easy, and the people supported and enthusiastically donated land to build the new rural area."
