After being relocated due to the damage caused by the hydroelectric dam, many households in Minh Phuong and La villages still do not have land to build houses, and are forced to set up temporary tents in the forest. Mr. Vi Dinh Phuc - Chairman of the People's Committee of Luong Minh commune said: Currently, there are 11 households that have to set up temporary tents along the hillsides or along the road because the resettlement planning area has not been completed, and some are staying with relatives.

A temporary house on the mountainside is about to be completed. Mr. Nguyen Van Thang - Head of the Economic - Infrastructure Department of Tuong Duong district said: "Currently, the district is making a request to the province for investment policy. The previous 34 households had a plan and were supported and compensated, and the district has allocated the reserve budget to support each household with 20 million VND to temporarily stabilize their lives. However, there is still no funding to build a new resettlement area for these households. All have to wait for the superior agencies to resolve it." Photo: DT |
