Almost all houses in the resettlement area are permanent houses built at a cost of at least 1 billion VND (41,000 USD) each. In 2029, the district and commune authorities called on people in the former Nhun hamlet to relocate to make room for the construction of the Canh Tang reservoir.
About 100 households were arranged in the resettlement area with sufficient infrastructure including concrete roads, lighting systems, and community houses. Each household was allocated 400 sq.m of land to build a house.
Bui Van Binh, the land management official of Yen Phu commune said that the commune has two resettlement areas for people relocated for the reservoir, which are Da Moi and Nhun hamlets. He said that at the beginning of the relocation, people did not want to go far from their fields and ancestors' graves. However, the entire political system including cadres, Party members, and prestigious persons joined hands to persuade people to follow the Government’s policy. Meanwhile, relevant units and investors implemented solutions to remove difficulties in compensation.
