Although the land is located under the 500kV power grid corridor, a family in Nghia Trung commune (Nghia Dan) still brazenly built a truck yard.

Nghe An Newspaper reporters received information from local residents that in Trung Thanh hamlet, Nghia Trung commune, Nghia Dan district, there is a plot of land located under the 500kV power line corridor, although it is under the management of the commune People's Committee, it has been built into a truck yard. This plot of land is located near National Highway 36, passing through Nghia Trung commune.

Present in this area, we noticed that under the 500kV power grid corridor, there was a large land area surrounded by a solid fence. This area often had many trucks coming in and out, especially heavy trucks such as container trucks and tractors.

According to local residents, they even built a "field" oil pumping station to pump oil for trucks when they gather here. Every day, a large number of trucks come and go, especially at night, causing damage to the concrete road in the hamlet.

According to our research, this land was previously residential land and garden land of some households (who were brothers in the same family). After the 500kV line 1 was built in 1992, because it was located under the line, this land was reclaimed, cleared and handed over to the locality for management.

Looking up the land plot diagram shows that this land plot has an area of ​​5,996.4m2.2, currently agricultural land, mostly other perennial crop land and some freshwater aquaculture land.

Answering our question about the appearance of this truck yard under the 500kV power line, Mr. Nguyen Long An - Chairman of the People's Committee of Nghia Trung commune said: In the locality, after the construction of the 500kV line circuit 1 in 1992, some households moved to live elsewhere after the land was cleared, some households asked to stay but built houses to avoid the power line. The households moved but still cultivated on the old land.

Mr. An also informed that the above land is currently being used by Mr. Nguyen Huu Thang (a relative of the former landowner). "The commune also received information that Mr. Thang had let another unit build a truck yard, even though he had previously applied for a chicken and pig farm. We will conduct a specific inspection," said Mr. An.

Clause 3, Article 51 of the Electricity Law 2024, regulating the Safety Protection of Overhead Power Lines, clearly states: It is not allowed to have houses and buildings where people regularly live and work in the safety protection corridor of overhead power lines with voltages of 500kV or higher, except for specialized buildings serving the operation of that power grid.

It can be seen that setting up a truck staging area under the 500kV power line not only seriously violates legal regulations, specifically violating Decree 14/2014/ND-CP, dated February 26, 2014, detailing the implementation of the Electricity Law, and affecting the country's electricity transmission activities andPotentially posing many threats to electrical safety and people's lives.
