Road 21 is planned to become one of 23 cross-roads of Cua Lo town. According to the announced planning and the red boundary markers, the width of Road 21 is 46m, the starting point connects with Binh Minh Street (at the position overlooking the cable car system of Vinpearl Cua Hoi Project), then runs through Nghi Hoa ward of Cua Lo town, Nghi Xuan commune of Nghi Loc district, connecting with the traffic system of Vinh city.
According to citizen information, Route 21 has not been invested in construction. The work of counting land, residential houses as well as land acquisition, compensation and resettlement support within the section passing through Nghi Hoa ward has only been carried out in a small part, from the section adjacent to Binh Minh street upstream with a length of about 600 - 700m. However, the land area along Route 21 has been divided into lots, and some of these lots already have owners, so there have been hidden opinions among the people. Not only that, in the residential area where Truong Van Linh street runs across, in block 4, Nghi Hoa ward, within the planning area of Route 21, there is a very strange and unusual situation. Specifically, in the same residential area, there are some households building new houses; there are households buying, selling, and transferring land to have the land acquired, receive compensation and be allocated resettlement land.
“We think that when the State organizes land clearance for a transport project, there will be a plan, implemented synchronously, publicly, and transparently. Within the scope of the project's influence, the types of land to be recovered, the list of households whose land will be recovered, the compensation unit price; resettlement areas... or even planning management work will be widely informed so that people can understand and create consensus. However, this is not the case here, leading to concerns" - citizens discussed.
Request to provide evidence, the answer is, just go to Truong Van Linh street, section through block 4, Nghi Hoa ward, it will be verified that within the red line of road 21, there is a newly built housing project; as for the irregularities in land acquisition, compensation, resettlement, etc., there will be documents to prove.
Initial verification, Nghi Hoa ward zoning plan was announced in early 2021; route 21 was planned for a long time, but the red boundary markers were only set around the end of 2022. Also on route 21, since around 2013, there was a project to invest in the construction of phase 1, with a length of about 600m, however, it could not be implemented later due to problems with 3 households.
Arriving at Truong Van Linh Street, through Block 4, Nghi Hoa Ward, following the instructions of the citizen reporting the news, we noticed that within the red boundary of Road 21, there were 2 2-storey houses built not long ago, quite large and solid in scale. Contacting the urban management officer of Cua Lo town, we learned that one household was granted a permit to build a house in 2020, before Nghi Hoa Ward announced the planning. The remaining household was granted a temporary housing construction permit on March 25, 2022. The representative said that Road 21 only has a phase 1 investment project with a length of about 600m, from Binh Minh Street to Long Road No. 3; the remaining section through Nghi Hoa Ward is about 2km long and the implementation time has not been determined. Therefore, according to regulations, when people have a need for housing and submit a request, they must be granted a temporary housing construction permit. The license clearly states that the project's lifespan is 5 years; it must be dismantled by itself, and compensation for the project cannot be requested when the lifespan stated in the license expires or when the project is implemented according to the plan.
Question: Why is a limited-term housing license granted to allow people to build solidly and expensively? This person explained that before granting the license, information about the planning was provided, and regarding the scale of construction, the license specified the area and height of the building. As for what materials they built with, solid or temporary, the authorities have no right to hinder or prohibit. However, this person also informed that after constructing the building, this household violated the error of "incorrect 4m rear setback" and was issued a report and required to correct the violation.
Regarding the land issue, we were led to an empty plot of land about 300 m wide.2, located right behind the house that was licensed to build a house in 2020. The land has a concrete entrance about 2m wide, with a low partition wall built with a dashboard. Here, the land was exchanged, this land was divided into 2 lots with numbers 408 and 409 on map sheet number 13. Lot number 408 is located entirely within the planning of Road 21, has been recovered, compensated and resettled. To confirm that this exchange is correct, the reporter provided evidence of a number of photocopied documents such as land extract, land use right certificate, land recovery decision, decision approving compensation price for recovered land and resettlement land...
Through these documents, it is shown that vacant land plot number 408 has an area of 151.6 m2.2, on map sheet No. 13, address Nghi Hoa ward, Cua Lo town; there was a decision to reclaim land by the People's Committee of Cua Lo town with the purpose of "implementing the crossroad project No. 21 in Nghi Hoa ward". And the owner of land lot No. 408 has had the compensation plan for site clearance and land use fees for resettlement approved; was allocated resettlement land. Regarding the compensation price for land lot 408 and resettlement land along planned road No. 21, the equivalent value is 5,500,000 VND/m2Notably, the owner of lot 408 was assigned 2 resettlement lots in the residential land division area on Street 21-22 (in Nghi Hoa ward), with a total area of 410m2.2.
Are these documents real or fake? On October 17, a responsible unit was requested to quickly appraise the decision to approve land prices to apply compensation prices (included in the document set provided by citizens). By October 20, it was confirmed that this decision was issued by the People's Committee of Cua Lo town in June 2021!
In the documents related to land acquisition; approval of compensation prices and resettlement land prices... provided by citizens, it is shown that the People's Committee of Cua Lo town assigned responsibility to a number of affiliated units for implementation, including the Cua Lo town Land Fund Development Center. Therefore, after confirming that the documents had a basis, Nghe An Newspaper reporters contacted the leaders of the Cua Lo town Land Fund Development Center to request verification. Surprisingly, after a period of directing staff to check, the center's leaders affirmed that they did not manage related records and documents and that they had never heard or known about this content (!?).
According to Mr. Thien, the investment project to build Road 21, Phase 1, must reclaim land from 3 households. Up to now, the center has only completed the land reclaim, site clearance compensation, and resettlement for 2 households; the remaining households have not been able to do so because they do not agree with the approved compensation plan. "The land reclaim, site clearance compensation, and resettlement work of the Road 21 project has only been carried out like this so far. We have absolutely no other information to provide...", Mr. Ho Lac Thien - leader of the Land Fund Development Center of Cua Lo town once again affirmed.
Nghi Hoa Ward People's Committee is also the unit assigned by Cua Lo Town People's Committee to be responsible for implementing decisions on land recovery, compensation and resettlement for land lot 408. However, when asked, it was similar to the Land Fund Development Center of Cua Lo Town. Mr. Le Thanh Giang - Chairman of Nghi Hoa Ward People's Committee and related officials affirmed that on route 21, the ward was allowed to participate with the Land Fund Development Center of Cua Lo Town to carry out land recovery, compensation, site clearance and resettlement for 3 households within the scope of the project phase 1. Providing information on land lot number 408 on map sheet number 13, requesting Nghi Hoa Commune People's Committee to verify, Mr. Le Thanh Giang - Chairman of Nghi Hoa Ward People's Committee received the information, promised to check and respond!
