Tuyen Dinh - Huu Vi • August 22, 2024 13:09

Since the Ban Ve hydropower plant stored water, Huoi Pung (Huu Khuong commune, Tuong Duong district) has become the most isolated residential area in the mountainous region of Nghe An. Therefore, when hearing about the policy of relocating to a new place, the residents here were very supportive and expectant.

ban bung (15) — The difficult traffic conditions have greatly affected the lives of the people, of which the most difficult is still health care. This is the village with the most upland rice cultivation in the commune with a total area of about 5 hectares and 1.8 hectares of rice fields. However, the productivity is unstable, so the majority of the people live on livestock and natural gathering. Some people work outside to earn extra income. Photo: Dinh Tuyen

The project has been implemented in 3 villages: Con Phen, Huoi Co and Huoi Pung. In 2023, the whole commune has 30 households supported. Specifically, in Huoi Pung village, 10 households were provided with ducklings, each household received 170 ducks. The total state support for each household here is 11,835,000 VND.

Huồi Pủng cũng là thôn bản duy nhất trong xã chưa được dùng điện lưới quốc gia. Phần lớn bà con đều dùng nguồn điện thắp sáng từ những chiếc tuabin tự tạo thả trên suối. Nguồn điện không ổn định và luôn hỏng hóc nên chỉ có thể phục vụ thắp sáng. Ảnh: Đình Tuyên — Huoi Pung is also the only village in the commune that has not yet used the national grid. Most of the people use electricity for lighting from homemade turbines on the stream. The electricity source is unstable and often broken, so it can only be used for lighting. Photo: Dinh Tuyen

ban bung (30) — People still cook with wood stoves. At night, many households still live in the dark. There is no phone signal here, so when people need to make a call, they have to go up a high hill to find a "failed signal". Photo: Dinh Tuyen

ban bung (28) — Huoi Pung village has received support from all levels, sectors and organizations for civil works. However, in general, the lives of households here still face many difficulties. Photo: Dinh Tuyen
