New spring with new momentum

ĐBP - The Lunar New Year holiday of 2026 concluded in a peaceful and excited atmosphere. While the peach blossoms remained vibrant on the hillsides, the rhythm of labor resumed quickly across villages and cities, marking the beginning of a journey fueled by the high determination and great expectations of the Party, the government, and the diverse ethnic groups of the province.

Putting aside the echoes of the holiday, local agencies and departments returned to work with a sense of urgency and seriousness. In Nà Tấu commune, following the early spring gathering, officials began processing tasks and implementing missions with high resolve.

Trần Quang Trung, Chairman of the Nà Tấu People’s Committee, noted that the commune achieved positive results in 2025, with the poverty rate dropping to 11.2%. For 2026, the commune set 14 groups of key tasks and assigned specific roles to each department to ensure a synchronized rollout that aimed for visible changes within the first quarter.

Under the spirit of “enjoying the spring without forgetting the mission,” the provincial civil service upheld a high sense of responsibility by closely monitoring the situation at the grassroots level. Administrative discipline was strengthened, and coordination between sectors remained smooth to ensure the progress and quality of work. Nguyễn Tiến Đạt, Director of the Department of Home Affairs, stated that agencies stabilized their structures immediately after the break. Officials focused on resolving administrative procedures and documents, preventing delays to serve citizens and businesses effectively from the very first days of the year.

Immediately after the Lunar New Year, the atmosphere on the construction site of the road project from National Highway 279 to Mánh Đanh village, Mường Ảng commune, was implemented urgently.

This atmosphere of urgency spread to various construction projects and worksites. At the road project site from National Highway 279 to Mánh Đanh village in Mường Ảng commune, construction proceeded at a lively pace. Excavators and bulldozers operated continuously as workers pushed through their tasks to take advantage of the favorable weather.

Trần Minh Giáp, Vice Chairman of the Mường Ảng People’s Committee, shared that while the project had faced obstacles regarding site clearance before Tet, these were resolved through the decisive action of the local government and the consensus of the residents. Consequently, the site was handed over in time for full-scale construction to begin right after the holiday.

The road project from National Highway 279 to Mánh Đanh village is expected to be completed in 2026, ensuring convenient travel for the people.

According to the approved schedule, the Mánh Đanh road project would be finished within 2026. This required intense focus from all involved parties, which is why the commune coordinated with investors and contractors to increase manpower and machinery from the start of the year. Alongside the construction sites, the rhythm of agricultural labor returned to a bustling state. In the fields, farmers made use of the fine weather to prepare the soil and sow seeds for corn and other crops. Extension officers were assigned to villages to provide technical guidance and disease prevention support.

Farmers in Thanh Nưa commune tended to their rice crops.

The year of 2026 marks the start of a new development phase, especially as the first year implementing the Resolutions of the 14th National Congress and the 15th provincial Party Congress for the 2025-2030 term. With a spirit of solidarity and responsibility, the province looked forward to successfully achieving the goals of 2026 and the entire term.
