Regarding the project to build a road connecting National Highway 46 with the Lam River embankment road, only 36% of the construction has been completed. Currently, the project is facing land acquisition issues in Hung Hoa, Nghi An, and Nghi Duc communes, with a total length of 1,400m.

At the reservoir construction project, the construction volume has reached 38%, due to obstacles on over 0.85 hectares in Hung Loc and Hung Hoa communes.

The project to upgrade and renovate the moat surrounding Vinh ancient citadel has reached 20% completion, but is still facing obstacles in Cua Nam and Doi Cung wards, where 249 households have not yet demolished their properties and handed them over to the construction unit.

The Hung Tay – Vinh road construction project has reached 30% completion, but is still facing obstacles in the communes and wards of Quan Bau, Hung Dong, and Hung Tay (Hung Nguyen district), with a total length of nearly 2000m… In these projects, some households have not accepted the compensation rates for land clearance, have not agreed to the resettlement plan, some plots have not had their land use origins confirmed, and many households have questions about compensation for assets on the land, land prices at the new location, etc.

At the meeting, the Party Secretary of the City Committee requested that the units implement stronger and more decisive solutions. Simultaneously, a mobilization team should be established to regularly monitor the situation at the grassroots level, assigning specific responsibilities to the supporting staff to focus on resolving issues related to documentation and procedures. The deadline for completing land clearance for all contract packages is December 30, 2016, to hand over clean land to the construction units.
