Vinh City has 102 constructions violating construction order.

Of the 102 violating constructions, 45 were built without permits or approved planning; 57 were built without construction permits.

Thanks to timely detection, the People's Committees of wards and communes and the City's Urban Order Management Team handled 50 cases on the spot; the Urban Management Department advised the City People's Committee to issue decisions on administrative sanctions for 52 cases.

In particular, there were 14 cases where a Decision to enforce demolition of the construction had to be issued, however, the demolition encountered many difficulties because in Nghe An province, no unit agreed to sign a contract to develop a demolition plan according to regulations.

Some projects located in the protection corridor of irrigation works, violating the dike law such as the Lam River amusement and entertainment project in Ben Thuy ward or the low-rise housing project in block 13, Ben Thuy ward have been thoroughly handled, the violating organizations have restored the status quo and adjusted the planning to ensure compliance with the law.

The reasons for the above situation are: The awareness of compliance with construction laws of the people, contractors, and investors is not high. Many organizations and individuals, for immediate benefits, ignore the compliance with the provisions of the law on construction order in the area; the solutions to handle constructions that violate the law are not strong enough. The professional qualifications of some officials and workers at the City Urban Order Management Team, the Urban Regulation Team of wards and communes do not meet the requirements of the job...

In the coming time, the City People's Committee needs to strengthen the propaganda of construction laws, and resolutely and strictly handle violations to increase deterrence and ensure the rule of law.
