Previously, according to the synthesis of Bac Nghe An Irrigation Company Limited, 208 families had land within the protection area of ​​the Vach Bac canal irrigation project. Up to now, 172 cases have built houses, while about 37 cases have not yet built houses.

Since 1985, the People's Committee of Do Thanh Commune has sold land with no term of use to 6 households by buying bonds with the purpose of allowing people to build business houses. From 1992 to 1996, the People's Committee of Do Thanh Commune continued to sell land in the canal to 168 cases, these households paid money to the commune budget.

Since then, in the process of land use, households have continued to divide plots, buy and sell, and transfer land, so the number of households with land here has increased to 199 cases. The land sale by the People's Committee of Do Thanh commune through many stages was concluded to be beyond its authority, seriously violating the Land Law, violating the 1994 Ordinance on Exploitation and Protection of Irrigation Works and the 1994 Ordinance on Protection of Traffic Works.

After discovering the situation of people building houses within the flood discharge area of ​​Vach Bac canal, many inspection and examination teams from all levels and sectors came to Do Thanh commune to work to find a solution. During the review of land purchase cases by the Commune People's Committee, about 30 cases were discovered with unclear origin of documents and signs of forgery.

In addition, there are 5 cases (now 9 cases) with documents leased by Bac Nghe An Irrigation Company Limited and the Irrigation Enterprise. The land lease contract was made through Mr. Phan Van Phuong, Head of Cluster N18A, Irrigation Enterprise and Main Canal.

After the inspection period, it was found that the files and documents related to these cases showed signs of crimes of forging seals, documents, records, and papers of agencies and organizations. Therefore, the Provincial Inspectorate transferred the files to the Provincial Police Department of Investigation for investigation and handling.

The case is currently being further investigated by the Nghe An Police Investigation Agency.
