On December 26, Luc Yen District Party Secretary Dinh Khac Yen and local authorities visited and commended Mr. Hoang Son Hai (At Thuong village, Minh Xuan commune), who submitted a petition to the local authorities, asking not to receive a resettlement house, with the reason being to give it to someone else with more difficult circumstances.
In the recent storm No. 3, Mr. Hai lost 3 relatives at the same time: his mother, wife, son and his house was completely buried.
Soon after, his family received support from kind-hearted people in the area and across the country, proactively building a new house that is nearing completion.
Along with that, the local government quickly arranged land funds and built resettlement houses for affected households. However, Mr. Hai voluntarily wrote a petition not to accept resettlement houses to give them to people in more difficult circumstances.
