The project to resettle and stabilize the residents of Min and Luoc Lau villages is being diligently completed by the contractor and is expected to be handed over in June 2025.
The resettlement project for households in Min and Luoc Lau villages, Muong Min commune (Pom Dung resettlement area) covers a total area of 5.2 hectares, with an investment of nearly 31 billion VND. Construction began in January 2024 and is expected to be completed in 2025, aiming to provide housing for 81 households, contributing to sustainable poverty reduction, environmental protection, rural development, and strengthening national defense and security.
Regarding the project's progress, Mr. Hoang Trong Thanh, a technical officer of Khanh Linh Investment and Construction Joint Stock Company, representing the construction contractor, stated: The project has completed 70% of the construction volume and aims to complete and hand over the infrastructure by June 2025. During the project implementation, the company encountered many difficulties, especially related to weather and site conditions. Currently, approximately 25% of the remaining construction volume is obstructed by rocky terrain, requiring the company to implement appropriate demolition measures to ensure the project's progress.
Regarding the resettlement projects in Luoc Lau and Yen villages (Muong Min commune), the investment preparation phase is underway, with the goal of commencing construction in 2025. The resettlement project for 49 households in Yen village has a total investment of 14.7 billion VND. During the initial survey, the chosen location was deemed unsuitable for a centralized resettlement area, so Quan Son district has proceeded with the necessary procedures to adjust the project, allowing for early construction.
With the arrangement of mixed 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 the population in areas at high risk of flash floods, landslides, and mudslides in mountainous districts in the period 2021-2025, Quan Son district has 110 households. In 2024, the number of households that have moved to new, safe places is 8; the number of households that have not yet moved to safe places is 102. Regarding the housing construction program for mixed resettlement households, implemented according to Directive No. 22-CT/TU on the campaign to support housing construction for poor households, policy-beneficiary households, and households with housing difficulties in the province in the two years 2024-2025, Quan Son district has been approved for 107 households, of which a total of 10 households have already built or are in the process of building houses; The total number of households undertaking housing construction in 2025 is 12; the total number of households committing not to relocate their homes is 85...
Speaking with us, Pham Ba Lap, Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of Muong Min commune, said that the main reasons many households have committed to not relocating to the resettlement area are that they have already built solid houses and are currently running businesses. The support offered for relocation is insufficient to justify the move. Furthermore, the new location in the resettlement area is unsuitable for the households to continue their businesses.
Mr. Vi Van H. from Luoc Lau village shared: “My family has been attached to the land and fields for many years and has built a solid house. Now, relocating to a new place, far from our source of livelihood, with low relocation assistance costs, will be very difficult for my family.”
Meanwhile, Ms. Ha Thi H., a small business owner in Muong Min commune, confided: "I agree with the relocation for safety reasons, but the resettlement area is not suitable for families to continue their businesses. If the government provides additional support policies for livestock farming or trading, people will be less worried."
According to Ha Van Toan, Head of the Agriculture and Environment Department of Quan Son District: The implementation of mixed resettlement faces several difficulties. Besides the low relocation rate, the land area managed by the People's Committees of communes and towns is very limited, causing certain difficulties in arranging resettlement. For concentrated, adjacent resettlement, finding suitable land for households is difficult due to the lack of available land. The project requires land and building acquisition, but funding for land clearance has not yet been allocated. Infrastructure is lacking in uniformity, investment costs are high due to high transportation costs, and the terrain is unfavorable...
"To overcome these difficulties, the district is making efforts to promote and encourage people to relocate to new, safe places. In addition, the district is also requesting the Provincial People's Committee to have policies to support production development projects for households relocating to concentrated, adjacent resettlement areas to ensure the early stabilization of people's lives," Mr. Toan added.
