Hanoi (VNA) – Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh requested the central province of Quang Tri to apply a state of emergency in housing reconstruction for 12 families whose houses collapsed or were damaged in recent natural disasters, with completion required before December 31.

Chairing a working session in Hanoi on December 13 with the Standing Board of the provincial Party Committee to review the "Quang Trung Campaign" on housing reconstruction and repair in the aftermath of floods and storms from November 16-22, PM Chinh urged the Ministry of National Defence to deploy engineering units for construction support, including drainage fixes for landslide-hit streamside areas in Khe Sanh commune, along with reinforcement and comprehensive risk assessments for long-term landslide prevention.

Stressing the principle of timeliness, accuracy, feasibility and effectiveness, the government leader requested Quang Tri province's authorities to submit weekly progress updates to meet deadlines.
