Vinh City has 102 constructions violating construction order.

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

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

In particular, there are 14 cases where a Decision on compulsory demolition of constructions must be issued. However, the demolition faces many difficulties because in Nghe An province, there is no unit that agrees 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 short-term benefits, ignore the compliance with the provisions of the law on construction order in the area; the solutions to handle construction violations prescribed by law are not strong enough. The professional qualifications of some officials and workers at the City Urban Order Management Team, the Urban Rules Team of wards and communes do not meet the needs 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.
