Not only Ms. Nguyet, currently people are not producing on the approved agricultural land area.
Quynh Vinh resettlement area,according toMr. Pham Van Hao, Head of the Town's Department of Natural Resources and Environment, said: The town has conducted a survey of the resettlement areas in Quynh Vinh commune, covering 10 hectares, with 219 affected households. People have made declarations, the town has completed inventory, pricing, and approved 100% of households; with an amount of 14.7 billion VND. Thus, all affected people in the resettlement area unanimously agreed to give up their land for the project, although compared to other projects in the area, people suffered a loss of nearly 30 million VND/100m.2(North-South expressway project compensates once, supports twice for agricultural land, while other projects in the area compensate once and support 3 more times).

Mr. Vu Le Hung - Chairman of Quynh Vinh Commune People's Committee said: At first, people did not understand and questioned the low compensation price, but the commune, hamlets, and organizations persistently campaigned until now, we confirm that 100% of the people agree.
In parallel with compensation for resettlement areas, the district and commune are clearing the land for the North-South Expressway. We can say that there are no days off, the mobilization committees work on Sundays and Saturdays to ensure progress. However, what we are concerned about is that while the people have agreed and the documents have been approved, many households have not yet received compensation in the resettlement area. In Quynh Trang, people have also agreed to give up land for the project.
