The road to the headworks site of the Ban Mong project has been opened.
(Baonghean.vn) - By 11:00 a.m. on October 31, the enforcement forces of Quy Hop district had opened the road to the site where the main works of the Ban Mong reservoir project were being carried out.
» Issued an order to enforce site clearance for Ban Mong reservoir project
On the morning of October 31, the Quy Hop District Land Clearance and Compensation Council informed that Mr. Dinh Viet Minh’s household had received support money and handed over the land. Therefore, the forced site clearance was carried out on the project land area where the two households of Ms. Nguyen Thi Hoa and Ms. Le Thi Minh had planted acacia trees.
The enforcement work against the violations of 2 households was carried out by Quy Hop district in accordance with the provisions of the law, organizing forces to ensure the work was completed.

At exactly 8:00 a.m. the same day, after the Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of Quy Hop district, Mr. Vo Sy Son, issued the order to enforce the eviction, the relevant units marked the area of enforcement and conducted a bomb and mine clearance. Next, the enforcement force used chainsaws and knives to cut down trees and clear the undergrowth.
The area where the enforcement was carried out on the morning of October 31 was the area where Ms. Nguyen Thi Hoa’s family had planted acacia. In this area, there was a shack that Ms. Hoa had recently built with the purpose of obstructing the Quy Hop district from carrying out the enforcement. On the morning of October 31, Ms. Hoa and her relatives still believed that the enforcement against her family was wrong. The reason was that compensation had not been made for the land that her family had used since before the 1980s and had not been compensated for the property on the land, which was acacia forest about 4 years old.
At the time of the decision to enforce, the Quy Hop District People's Committee officials had mobilized and explained the general regulations on BTGPMB, but Ms. Hoa and her relatives were still stubborn and had opposing words.
However, the work of cutting down trees and clearing the ground was still carried out by the forces according to plan. At more than 11am the same day, the road through the area where Ms. Hoa's family planted acacia trees to the construction site of the Ban Mong Reservoir Project was formed. It is expected that the work of enforcing the clearance of the entire land area for the project that was occupied by acacia farmers will last from 3 to 5 days.

Present at the enforcement session, Secretary of Quy Hop District Party Committee, Mr. Ho Le Ngoc confided: “Implementing enforcement against households is a last resort. Because Quy Hop district has implemented all measures, from sending officials to their homes to persuade; organizing dialogues, requesting the Project Management Board to support money for seedlings, planting trees... but still did not achieve results. The behavior of the households is a violation of the law. Besides, this is a key project, serving the socio-economic development interests of Western Nghe An, the whole population benefits, so it is necessary to ensure progress. Therefore, it is mandatory to implement enforcement...”.
The thoughts of District Party Secretary Ho Le Ngoc are completely correct. The Ban Mong Reservoir Project is being implemented in the two districts of Quy Hop and Quy Chau, with a total budget of 4,500 billion VND. This is a project of great significance to promote the socio-economic development of the Western Nghe An region, which is still full of difficulties.

Therefore, there are shortcomings and problems in the site clearance work of this project, which is sad. The act of planting trees on the land that the state has recovered for the project by the two households of Ms. Nguyen Thi Hoa and Le Thi Minh is a violation of the law, affecting the progress of the project, so it is necessary to enforce it. This is for the common good.
