Almost immediately after information about the problems on the North-South expressway, the section through Hung Thinh hamlet, Hung Tay commune (Hung Nguyen) appeared in the newspaper (Article "How to handle problems on the North-South expressway section through Dong Cua production area, Hung Tay commune (Hung Nguyen)", published in Nghe An electronic newspaper on March 26, 2024), a Facebook friend contacted and asked: Is the information about the expressway project's underpass connecting to the fields, not connecting to the road true? Answer: That's true. The article has attached some pictures as proof!
Then, the explanation is that the problems on the North-South expressway, the section through Hung Thinh hamlet, Hung Tay commune, have been determined to originate from the unreasonable design. That is, the expressway divides some rice-growing land of the people of Hung Thinh hamlet (west), but there is no irrigation culvert designed to bring water for irrigation, leading to people having no water for production. That is, the design of the underpass for people but the location of the underpass is not connected to the traffic road, but is leading to the edge of the rice field, affecting the travel, production, daily life, especially the fire prevention and fighting work of the people in the area.
You hear and sigh: The unreasonable design has caused the loss of facilities serving production and daily life of the people, while the newly built items are not useful. Thus, it will be a waste of investment funds and also cause problems, leading to prolonged construction time, affecting the progress of the project.
Seeing that you mentioned the progress of the North-South Expressway project, the reason why some people in Hung Thinh hamlet, Hung Tay commune came out to prevent construction on March 18, 2024 was also because their petition had not been promptly resolved. Although quite a while ago, in October 2023, the petition of the people had been reported by the local authorities to the higher levels, and then a delegation came to inspect the field, recognized the petition of the people as legitimate, and proposed a solution...
You replied: I understand. Then commented: It is not simply a matter of some unreasonableness in the survey, design, and installation of some public works in the wrong location. It is also a lack of thoroughness, one could say indifference to the legitimate suggestions of the people. This is the source of the frustrations and unnecessary hot spots in society.
Think, see right.
For example, the People's Committee of Hung Tay commune, in Document No. 737/UBND-NN dated December 12, 2023, along with the report and proposal to overcome the congestion and unreasonable points due to the construction of the North-South expressway, warned: "Recently, there have been signs that some citizens intend to block construction vehicles, but the People's Committee of the commune has organized propaganda and mobilized people to create favorable conditions for the contractor to construct...".
Or as Hung Thinh Hamlet Chief Nguyen Van Thi said, when the problem has not been resolved completely, the worries remain: “Hung Thinh residents have always strictly followed the law for many years. The reason for the obstruction of construction is because the people's petitions were considered legitimate but were slow to be resolved. After the meeting on March 23, the people's thoughts have stabilized. As grassroots cadres, we hope that these problems will be resolved completely, avoiding bad elements taking advantage of the situation to incite…”.
Again, in a large project like the North-South Expressway, the "flaws" in the design of the section through Hung Tay commune are possible and acceptable. But the slow handling of those "flaws", leading to the people of Hung Thinh hamlet, Hung Tay commune, being worried, obstructing the construction unit on March 18, 2024, is really worth mentioning!
