Voter of Quang Thinh village, Tam Dinh commune, Vo Tuan raised the following opinions: Quang Thinh villagers currently lack production land, each household has only 1 hectare on average, the rest is land for forest protection. However, since 2015, Quang Thinh villagers have not received any payment for forest protection. In addition, Quang Thinh village also has a land dispute with Tam Bong village, Tam Quang commune that has not been resolved yet; The specialized staff in charge of allowances does not meet the requirements of the job.

Regarding the above recommendations of voters, Mr. Kha Van Ot - Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of Tuong Duong district responded and explained in detail the contents under the authority of the district level. In particular, Mr. Ot affirmed that the district is actively resolving the payment and compensation contents related to Khe Bo Hydropower Plant. Regarding the land valuation at the departure and destination places in the resettlement of Khe Bo Hydropower Plant, Tuong Duong district has completed the valuation stage and has announced it publicly in the villages.

Tuong Duong District Party Secretary Pham Trong Hoang proposed that the Government should tighten regulations on forest protection. However, the current demand for stilt houses is very high, so the exploitation of wood for house construction is still happening. The district is encouraging people to build houses with concrete pillars instead of stilt houses, but poor households still face difficulties in construction costs.
