On January 22, in Minh Xuan commune, Luc Yen district, Yen Bai province, the Military Region 2 Command coordinated with the People's Committee of Luc Yen district to organize the inauguration ceremony and handover of 35 houses under the residential stabilization project in At Thuong village.
The ceremony was attended by Colonel Nguyen Anh Ngoc - Head of Logistics - Engineering, Military Region 2, leaders of Luc Yen District People's Committee and many local people.
Speaking at the ceremony, Colonel Nguyen Anh Ngoc emphasized: "The Vietnam People's Army comes from the people and serves the people. With the function of being a fighting army, a production labor army, and a working army, the Army always stands side by side with the people to overcome difficulties and losses."
With the spirit of “highest, fastest, most practical”, the project of 35 stilt houses in At Thuong was completed and handed over right before Lunar New Year, bringing a new, cozy and safe place to live for the people.
In particular, mentioning the efforts during the implementation process, Colonel Nguyen Anh Ngoc shared: "With the highest determination and effort, along with the support from the 789 Corporation/BQP and the officers and soldiers of Regiment 174 (Division 316), we completed the project on schedule, so that people can soon celebrate Tet in their new homes."
On the threshold of the new spring, At Thuong village is decorated with new stilt houses with unique designs. In an exciting atmosphere, the first families have received their new houses and are ready to welcome the Lunar New Year.
Speaking at the ceremony, Mr. Hoang Manh Ha - representative of Luc Yen District People's Committee - expressed: "The losses from storm No. 3 have seriously affected the lives and activities of the people. The decision to invest in 35 new houses is not only a place to live, but also a symbol of the solidarity between the army and the people".
The project to resettle 35 households in At Thuong village, Minh Xuan commune, Luc Yen district (where the landslide caused by storm No. 3 occurred, killing 9 people), was started on November 18 on a hill with an area of over 2.3 hectares, about 500 meters from the old village.
The resettlement area of At Thuong village is divided into 2 phases. In phase 1, Military Region 2 will support Yen Bai province to invest in the construction of a resettlement project for 35 households. In phase 2, Luc Yen district will support land for people to build houses.
35 stilt houses in the At Thuong village reconstruction area were built at level IV with typical Tay ethnic stilt house architecture, with a construction area of about 72 m2 and a usable area of 144 m2. The construction cost of each house is about 650 million VND from the Ministry of National Defense's Fund for the Poor.
It is known that, in addition to the resettlement area of At Thuong village, the Ministry of National Defense has supported funding to build 60 houses with typical Mong ethnic style in Ky Quan San village (Bat Xat district, Lao Cai). The Military Region 2 Command was assigned to implement the construction, ensuring the progress and quality of the project.
