(Baonghean.vn) - Several large hydropower projects in Tuong Duong district continue to pay compensation and support local people affected by natural disasters.

Tuong Duong is a locality with many hydropower projects and infrastructure construction projects. Ensuring a stable life for people after the projects are implemented, especially after resettlement, is extremely important.

In fact, some resettlement projects for people in Tuong Duong district were located in locations with steep slopes, high risk of landslides, and unsafe conditions, so after a short time, local people moved to other places, built temporary houses on the banks of rivers and streams, leaving behind abandoned resettlement houses.

According to reports, recentlyBan Ve Hydropower Companyhas paid support funds for repairing 120 houses of households built by investors in resettlement areas in Tuong Duong district. Including Chon village resettlement area (Xieng My commune), Vang Mon village resettlement area (Nga My commune), Co Phao village resettlement area, and Ban Ve resettlement area, all in Yen Na commune. The payment of support funds for house repairs was made with a total cost of more than 2.1 billion VND.

In addition to Ban Ve Hydropower Company, Khe Bo Hydropower Plant has recently completed compensation and land support payments for 22 households in Dinh Huong village, Tam Dinh commune with a total cost of over 288 million VND. At the same time, it has completed payment of support funds for households affected by storms No. 3 and No. 4 and floods on August 30 and 31, 2018 for 68 households in Tam Quang commune with a total amount of 805 million VND.
At Ban Ang Hydropower Plant, this unit has also paid compensation, support and resettlement costs toemergency evacuationfor 6 households in Khe Kien village, Luu Kien commune due to landslides in the Ban Ang hydroelectric reservoir area, phase 1 and phase 2, with an amount of nearly 2.5 billion VND.

In addition, the Management Board of the 220kV Nam Mo (Laos) - Tuong Duong transmission line project in Vietnam has also paid compensation and support for crops, houses, and land with a total amount of more than 212 million VND to people in Lo village (Xa Luong commune); Khe Kien village (Luu Kien commune); Phong village (Thach Giam town); Bai Xa village (Tam Quang commune). At the same time, the compensation and support documents for assets on land within the transmission line safety corridor (phase 3) were completed and submitted to the investor to arrange funds to pay for 5 households and the amount of more than 456 million VND.

It can be seen that, although the support for people affected by natural disasters, as well as the payment of housing repair support costs for large projects in the area, has not been carried out in a timely manner.

However, the supported funds will partly help people stabilize their lives and ensure "settling down" when the projects are implemented and put into operation./.
