Dien Chau clears encroaching solid structures on National Highway 1A

Dien Thanh is the first commune to launch a campaign to clear solid structures along National Highway 1A. In hamlet 9, along National Highway 1A, there are 32 households subject to traffic corridor clearance, including 12 houses with an area of ​​60m2² -144m², remaining from 30m²up to 60m².

Most of the kiosks and factories subject to clearance were solidly built, including two-story houses worth hundreds of millions of dong, so the clearance encountered many difficulties. However, due to prior propaganda and mobilization, along with resolute direction and ensuring fairness, the families complied with the clearance and worked with the authorities to dismantle the structures.
