The story of war veterans in block 15, Cua Nam ward, donating land to open a road

(Baonghean)Dang Quan Thuy Street is a connecting road from the center of block 15, Cua Nam ward, connecting with Sieu Hai Street to Nguyen Sinh Sac Street (Vinh City). The road has just been upgraded to 7m wide, with a 5m asphalt roadbed. To construct this road, the City People's Committee has a policy of not supporting site clearance costs, assigning authorities at all levels to clear the site to carry out construction on schedule.

In block 15 of Cua Nam ward, there are 11 households with a 150m fence and residential land that need to be cleared. In that situation, the block executive committee held a meeting with residents to clearly state the request to mobilize people to voluntarily contribute, while the government and organizations met with each household to mobilize them to voluntarily contribute without receiving compensation. Among the 11 households, many have small residential land areas, and now they have to move within 1-2m of fence, making their living conditions even more difficult. Typically, the head of the Veterans Association, Ngo Hong Phuc, had to move the fence into 28m2 and the residential land into 25m2, for a total of 53m2.

Mr. Phuc's house was moved to open Sieu Hai road.

Mr. Phuc himself is retired, with a meager salary, his wife is a petty trader, the income is not worth much, life is very frugal. However, he still voluntarily donated 53 square meters of residential land, had to remove the fence and part of the house to open Sieu Hai road running through the house according to the prescribed boundary, without setting any conditions for receiving compensation. Veteran Nguyen Van Quang is the second household to voluntarily donate 20 square meters of land to open a road according to the boundary.

At the meeting of 11 households in Block 15, people welcomed the act of the head of the association, Ngo Hong Phuc, and the remaining 10 households also agreed to donate 300m2 of land and a 150m long fence to open the road. Mr. Ho Van Do - Head of Block 15 said: "Thanks to the participation of organizations, along with the consensus of the people, it has created strength. The War Veterans Association came to help head of the association, Phuc, dismantle the house, the households in the block contributed more than 50 million VND. The sectors, organizations, and benefactors supported Mr. Phuc with 20 million VND so that his family could buy materials to rebuild the 60m2 level 4 house and stabilize their lives.
