Land clearance for Vinh - Cua Lo road project: People are allowed to choose resettlement land locations

People are selected for resettlement land and receive an additional 18 million VND if they relocate early.

The meeting between city leaders and a large number of people of Nghi Duc commune on April 10, 2019 recorded hundreds of opinions about concerns and problems in the final stage of site clearance (GPMB) to serve the construction of Vinh - Cua Lo road.

Most people expressed their opinions about the resettlement land area, the price of the new place, how to make family life more convenient when moving to the new place when there are still livestock and poultry... Some people said that dividing the land into plots of only 150m²/current households are not suitable, resettlement areas are slow, will the compensation money be enough to build a house...

At the meeting, there were the attendance of comrade Nguyen Van Lu - Deputy Secretary of Vinh City Party Committee, Chairman of Vinh City People's Council; Le Quoc Hong - Head of Vinh City Party Committee's Mass Mobilization Committee and departments and offices of the city. The above opinions were fully explained by Vinh City Land Fund Center.

“Land recovery compensation also depends on whether the household has all or part of the land recovered, how much residential land area is recovered, and the number of households with registered residences living on that land.

If there are 200m²Residential land but only one household lives there, that household will be allocated a residential plot when being relocated; but if it is also 200m²"If a household has a child living on the same land, they will be allocated 2 lots," said Mr. Nguyen Tat Son, representative of Vinh City Land Fund Center.

The city has a compensation plan and announced and provided specific instructions to people subject to land acquisition. “The resettlement land fund for Xuan Dong hamlet is for households that register for resettlement in advance. If any household registers before April 30, there will be an additional support policy of 18 million VND/household for 4 or more people; and for households with 4 or less people, the support will be 12 million VND/household. This mechanism is in addition to the province's support regime and we hope to speed up the progress compared to the plan,” Mr. Nguyen Tat Son affirmed.
