ĐBP – On October 14, ten newly constructed houses were handed over to families affected by recent natural disasters in Mường Pồn Commune, Điện Biên District, Điện Biên Province. The handover ceremony was attended by Cao Thị Tuyết Lan, Secretary of the District Party Committee and Chairwoman of the Điện Biên District People's Council, alongside representatives from the Việt Nam Fatherland Front Committee and the provincial police.

This initiative is part of a broader effort by the Central Public Security Party Committee and the Ministry of Public Security to provide housing for households affected by storms, landslides, and floods. Beginning in mid-September, the provincial police mobilised resources to build homes for affected families on their existing plots in Lĩnh Hamlet, Mường Pồn Commune.

The Ministry of Public Security contributed VNĐ50 million (US$2,000) per house, with an additional VNĐ20 million provided by Điện Biên District. Provincial police units also volunteered their labour to assist with the construction.

In just over a month, ten houses were completed at a total cost of VNĐ990 million, with VNĐ290 million contributed by the recipient families. These new homes offer crucial support, helping affected families stabilise their lives and resume their livelihoods.

At the handover ceremony, both the Ministry of Public Security and the Điện Biên District Party Committee presented ten gift packages to the families. The provincial police women’s union contributed ten multi-functional agricultural machines, while the provincial police youth union, Phenikaa University youth union, and other benefactors donated 1,000 breeding chickens and animal feed to help support the families' livelihoods.

Additionally, the Điện Biên District People's Committee awarded certificates of merit to one collective and four individuals in recognition of their outstanding contributions to housing support for families affected by the recent natural disasters in Mường Pồn Commune.
