Accelerating Progress on 3 Natural Disaster Prevention Projects in the Hoa Binh Area

On the morning of October 19, Comrade Dinh Cong Su — Member of the Provincial Party Committee and Vice Chairman of the Provincial People’s Committee — inspected the implementation progress of 3 natural disaster prevention projects in Luong Son commune and Ky Son and Hoa Binh wards. Accompanying him were leadership representatives from several relevant departments, sectors, and units.

Vice Chairman of the Provincial People’s Committee Dinh Cong Su inspecting the implementation progress of the Project to Remediate Disaster Consequences and Landslides along the Bui River (Section from the Cement Plant Underwater Pass to Dong Chui Bridge, Luong Son Commune).

The Project to Remediate Disaster Consequences and Landslides along the Bui River (Section from the Cement Plant Underwater Pass to Dong Chui Bridge, Luong Son Commune) carries a total investment of 140 billion VND, constructing a 1,558-meter-long landslide prevention embankment line. To date, the project has constructed 519 meters and handed over 57% of the site. The primary difficulty lies in site clearance work.

Regarding the Urgent Pheo - Che Flood Prevention and Inundation Control Dike Project in the Lower Da River Area, the work carries a total investment of over 597.4 billion VND, featuring a 15.8-km dike line combined with a transport road. To date, the project has completed 2 bridges and several on-route items; road surface concrete pouring has reached 1,600 meters. Site clearance at the head section of the route reached 4.6 out of 6.2 km. Currently, 20 households in Ky Son ward require resettlement arrangements, while several households have not agreed to compensation plans. In 2026, project disbursement reached 88.52% of the plan.

The Urgent Landslide Remediation Project in Group 15 Area, Hoa Binh Ward carries a total investment of over 499.8 billion VND, constructing a 2,013-meter embankment line. To date, 492 meters of concrete earth-retaining walls, 864 meters of sloped embankments, and several other items have been constructed. However, construction progress remains slow. The project requires relocating and arranging resettlement for 80 households, of which only 32 households have been arranged. Site clearance faces lingering obstacles in several locations.

Through inspections, prominent difficulties across the 3 projects primarily relate to site clearance, resettlement arrangements, capital sources, and construction progress. The Hoa Binh Area Project Management Board recommended relevant localities and units to accelerate land origin verifications, complete compensation and resettlement plans; while requesting contractors to concentrate manpower and equipment, increasing shifts and crews, and prioritizing construction at locations with high landslide risks—guaranteeing work quality and safety.

Delivering concluding remarks, Vice Chairman Dinh Cong Su requested departments, sectors, localities, and relevant units to elevate their sense of responsibility, strengthen coordination, focus on removing site clearance obstacles, and decisively accelerate project progress.

For the Bui River Disaster Remediation Project, he requested the Hoa Binh Area Project Management Board to coordinate with the Luong Son Commune People’s Committee to form an inter-agency working group to review and accurately determine land origins, resolving compensation and site clearance bottlenecks. Locations with cleared sites must urgently organize construction; while completing disbursement procedures based on executed volumes and regularly reporting progress.

For the Urgent Pheo - Che Flood Prevention Dike Project, Vice Chairman Dinh Cong Su requested Ky Son ward to early approve compensation plans for 24 households in the Paper Mill residential quarters and remaining households; arranging resettlement for 20 affected households to create clean sites serving construction. Contractors shall concentrate manpower, materials, and equipment, organizing multi-shift construction to guarantee progress, quality, technical standards, and work safety in accordance with signed contracts.
