PANO – On September 26, at the resettlement area of Hang Pu Xi village, Xa Dung commune, Dien Bien province, the Military Region 2 Command, in coordination with the local authorities, handed over new houses to residents affected by flash floods and landslides in 2025.
The floods in early August 2025 caused severe human and property losses in many communes of Dien Bien province. Following the directions of the Prime Minister and the Ministry of National Defense, Military Region 2, in coordination with Dien Bien province’s authorities, built new resettlement areas and supported the construction and repair of houses for affected residents, including 80 newly-built houses and repairs to 241 others.
After two months of construction, nearly 600 officers and soldiers from the Dien Bien Provincial Military Command, Regiment 82 (Division 355), and Depot K79 of the Department of Logistics and Technical Services of Military Region 2, together with local forces, completed the building of 80 new houses and repair of 241 damaged houses. They also finished infrastructure such as roads and sanitation facilities in Xa Dung, Muong Luan, Na Son, Tia Dinh, and Sin Thau communes. The houses were built solidly, helping residents soon stabilize their lives.
On this occasion, the Military Region 2 Command, Dien Bien province’s authorities, and the provincial Military Command presented gifts to natural disaster-affected households.
