The Prime Minister has decided to allocate 130 billion VND sourced from the 2015 State budget to help ten provinces repairing their damaged essential infrastructures affected by storms and floods from September and October last year.
These provinces include provinces of Cao Bang, Dien Bien, Ha Giang, Tuyen Quang, Hoa Binh, Vinh Phuc and Ninh Binh in the northern region and the central provinces of Thanh Hoa, Nghe An and Quang Nam.
In addition, the Prime Minister assigned the Ministry of Finance to provide 20 tonnes of vegetable seeds for Thanh Hoa province to support flood victims to restore their production.
People’s Committees of centrally-run cities and provinces are required to use the aid, their own budget and other legal capital resources for right purposes and subjects, as well as report the results to the Central Steering Committee for Natural Disaster Prevention and Control.
