Ba Che accompanies people after the storm

Storm No. 3 and its aftermath are considered a disaster, causing huge losses in human lives and property in Quang Ninh in particular and the northern provinces and cities in general.

Comrade Cao Tuong Huy, Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee (left) visited and presented the province's support money to families affected by storm No. 3 in Ba Che district.

In Ba Che district, due to the impact of super typhoon Yagi, in addition to a series of public works and houses being damaged, over 14,650 hectares of forestry trees, of which 14,500 hectares were completely destroyed, and it is worth noting that over 10,000 hectares of acacia trees from 2 to 6 years old of the people. Meanwhile, for a long time, ethnic minorities have been mainly relying on afforestation to reduce poverty and develop the economy , mainly based on acacia trees.

Like many other families in the village and commune, Mr. Trieu A Phuc's family in Na Lang village, Don Dac commune has 5 hectares of acacia and normally, after 5 or 6 years, each hectare of acacia will certainly be sold for 60-80 million VND. And so, 5 hectares of acacia will bring Mr. Phuc's family a profit of 300-400 million VND. However, with the strong winds and continuous storm for more than 6 hours of the recent storm No. 3 Yagi , the entire acacia forest that was in a good growth period of Mr. Phuc's family was completely destroyed. Mr. Phuc said: The initial investment for each hectare of acacia ranges from 20-30 million VND, which for the ethnic people in the villages in Don Dac commune in general, and my family in particular, is a great effort, but now not only have we lost the initial investment savings for planting 5 hectares of acacia, but also all the effort with the hope that in a few years the money from harvesting from the acacia forest will be used to build a more solid, bigger, and more beautiful house. Now, who knows when we will be able to build a house.

Parents in Lang Loc village, Thanh Lam commune (Ba Che) take their children to school by raft across the stream.

Mr. Trieu A Tai, Party Cell Secretary, Head of Na Lang Village, Don Dac Commune (Ba Che) said: The village has a total of more than 400 hectares of acacia, but over 71% of the broken acacia forest area is only 2-3 years old, so businesses do not buy it. It has been more than a month since the storm, but the people's acacia forests are still in disarray. Investing in replanting at this time is extremely difficult for the people, so the people hope for timely support from the province and district in terms of capital.

The difficulties after the devastation of storm No. 3 have been and are present for the people of Ba Che district, especially for people with newly planted forests right in the storm's direction. Therefore, to help people overcome all difficulties, at the 21st session, the 14th term People's Council of Quang Ninh province passed a Resolution on adjusting and allocating the provincial budget expenditure estimate for 2024. In particular, many important decisions are aimed at urgently restoring and reconstructing the socio-economy after storm No. 3 such as supporting housing construction and repair; raising the province's social assistance standards for social protection beneficiaries and other disadvantaged groups in the province...

People's trust is demonstrated through specific actions and deeds. Immediately after the storm, Ba Che district promptly introduced synchronous solutions to help people restore production, and reviewed essential works serving people's lives and production. At the same time, it assigned and assigned specific responsibilities to each sector, unit, and locality in deploying and performing assigned tasks.

The family of Mr. Trieu A Phuc, Na Lang village, Don Dac commune (Ba Che) is clearing a nearly 3-year-old acacia forest destroyed by storm No. 3.

Mr. Bui Xuan Hieu, Deputy Director in charge of the Investment and Construction Project Management Board of Ba Che district, said: We are currently implementing the underground construction of Tai Lo, Don Dac commune, and the Khe Put suspension bridge for people in Thanh Son commune and Lang Loc suspension bridge in Thanh Lam commune. The district has received documents and is waiting for the approval decision of the province. After being approved by the province, the district will immediately implement it, because in fact, the Lang Loc suspension bridge in Thanh Lam commune not only serves the travel and production development of the people, but since the bridge was completely destroyed by the storm, students, especially primary and preschool students, have to walk dozens of kilometers, otherwise, if they go by raft across the stream, it will only take 15 minutes to get to school but it will be very dangerous, even leading to unpredictable accidents.

It is thought that, with the total damage to agriculture and infrastructure caused by storm No. 3 being about 800 billion VND, this is a rather large amount of money given the current conditions of the district, so to help Ba Che overcome difficulties, stabilize production, business and people's lives, it is necessary to have timely attention from the province regarding economic resources and policy mechanisms.
