(Baonghean.vn) - During the construction of Khe Bo Hydropower Plant (Tuong Duong District), 585 households from 12 villages in 5 communes and towns had to relocate and resettle. However, up to now, after 4 years of operation, the infrastructure of some resettlement areas has not been completed.

During the site clearance process, Tuong Duong district coordinated with the investor to carry out the stages well, organizing for 585 households to relocate in villages in the communes of Tam Dinh, Tam Thai, Yen Thang, Thach Giam and Hoa Binh town. At the same time, 1,430 graves and many school buildings and community cultural houses were relocated.
Up to now, Khe Bo Hydropower Plant has been in operation for 4 years, supplying nearly 400 million kWh per year and the resettlement work is basically stable. However, due to many reasons, some traffic works, community houses, and clean water are not completed and lack sustainability.

Typically, in Dinh Tien and Dinh Huong villages (Tam Thang commune), and Pung village (Yen Thang commune), clean water projects are not effective, and resettled people lack clean water for daily meals. In particular, Dinh Huong village is located right next to the reservoir but all 137 villages lack clean water.
The reason is that the clean water project was built but could not get stream water, and the lake water (stagnant water) could not be used for daily drinking.
