The road to the site of the Ban Mong project's headworks 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 of the main works of the Ban Mong reservoir project.

» Issued an order to enforce site clearance for the 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 family had received the support money and handed over the land. Therefore, the forced site clearance was carried out on the project land area where the two families of Ms. Nguyen Thi Hoa and 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 law, and forces were organized 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 enforcement area and conducted a bomb and mine search. 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 trees. In this area, there was a shack that Ms. Hoa had built not long ago with the purpose of obstructing the enforcement of Quy Hop district. On the morning of October 31, Ms. Hoa and her relatives still believed that the enforcement of 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 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 as planned. 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, Quy Hop District Party Secretary Ho Le Ngoc confided: “Implementing enforcement against households is a last resort. Because Quy Hop district has taken all measures, from sending officials to their homes to persuade; organizing dialogues, requesting the Project Management Board to support money for seedlings, tree planting costs... 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 progress must be ensured. 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 cost 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, the existence and problems in the site clearance work of this project are sad. The act of planting trees on the state land that has been 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.
