"The town's leadership's viewpoint is that households that meet the conditions should apply for land use right certificates immediately, and those that do not meet the conditions should be explained clearly to the people. Those that do not have the need should be allowed to register their land. Tomorrow, the town will organize training on the issuance of land use right certificates for village and hamlet officials to guide the people in implementing the process," said comrade Pham Van Hao.

Hoang Mai Town Party Secretary - Comrade Le Truong Giang said: The town has many innovations, creative ways of doing things, focusing on directing the resolution and supervision of the resolution of voters' petitions, especially the backlog and long-standing cases. Photo: Thanh Le

Regarding voters' petitions on compensation and site clearance for the project to upgrade and expand National Highway 1A, comrade Pham Van Hao said: This is a problem that is being resolved at all levels. Nghe An province has sent many documents to the Government to resolve and ensure the rights of the people, but the handling process still faces many difficulties and obstacles due to historical issues. Therefore, we hope that the people will share to resolve it together.

Clarifying voters' opinions on compensation and site clearance for the North-South Expressway project, comrade Pham Van Hao emphasized: This is a national key project, with urgent implementation progress. During the implementation process, the town's Compensation and Site Clearance Council implemented democracy and clearly explained and propagated to the people. The issue that the town is most concerned about is how to stabilize the lives of the people soon, and so far the people have received land and built houses to stabilize their lives.
