Previously, on June 28, 2019, Vinh City People's Committee issued Decision No. 3703/QD-UBND on compulsory land acquisition of 32 households and individuals in Nghi Phu commune to implement the Vinh - Cua Lo Road Project (phase 1). However, before the enforcement, 2 households had received compensation and 2 households had land located in residential areas that had not yet been subject to this phase of enforcement.

The reason for the revocation is that households and individuals do not comply with handing over the land to the competent state agencies. Although previously the People's Committee of Vinh City, Nghi Phu Commune, Vinh City Land Fund Development Center and related departments and branches had conducted many dialogues, propaganda, mobilization, and responded to the recommendations of related households on policies and laws regarding compensation, revocation, and site clearance for the Vinh - Cua Lo Road Project, households and individuals still did not agree to receive compensation and hand over the land.

The boundary location of the recovered land plot is determined according to the cadastral map extract of the land plot No. 18/2017/BD.DC approved by the Nghe An Department of Natural Resources and Environment on June 5, 2017. The time for compulsory land recovery is from June 28 to December 31, 2019.

Before carrying out the enforcement and leveling of the site, the authorities read the enforcement decision and carried out the steps according to the law.
