Another 'land reclamation' project in Vinh city!

"MAGNIFICENT" PROJECT

In the context that the Provincial People's Committee is resolutely directing relevant departments and branches together with local authorities to focus on reviewing, inspecting and handling slow-progressing projects, the Nghe An Newspaper hotline received information that in Nghi Phu commune (Vinh city), there is a "suspended" project that has been on hold for many years. "This is a residential project with a grandiose planning and large land fund. However, it has been nearly 10 years since it was approved by the Provincial People's Committee and the investor has not had any activity..." - the citizen reporting the news confirmed.

ANOTHER "CONTAINING" PROJECT

According to the representative of Nghi Phu Commune People's Committee, Nghi Phu Commune Residential Area Project is located close to the northern fence of the Provincial General Hospital. There are many ways to enter this project. You can follow the 24m wide planned road behind the Provincial General Hospital, you can turn in from Mai Lao Bang Street, or you can also from Highway 3 - 2, turn along the residential road to enter.

Regarding the project planning location, it is called Con Moc land; it can be divided into three parts, including: Dong Chia cemetery land, agricultural land of Hong Hoa Thai Cooperative members, the largest part is agricultural land of Team 9 members, Hung Manh Tien Cooperative.

Regarding the project implementation, Nghi Phu Commune People's Committee affirmed that there has not been any activity on the land. At the same time, it said that the commune government has only had access to related documents after Vinh City People's Committee sent a list of projects behind schedule and issued a document directing and urging the investor to implement the project. "We can take you to see the current status of the project planning area, out there there are only graves and agricultural land of people growing vegetables of all kinds..." - Nghi Phu Commune representative discussed. In fact, the project area is true. Not only that, this place is also a polluted area because of stagnant water and all kinds of garbage. From construction waste to countless household waste.

Ask the Nghi Phu commune officials: With projects like this in the area, how does the commune respond? The answer is: "Based on the Official Dispatch and List sent by the Vinh City People's Committee, the Commune People's Committee checks the current status of project implementation. At the same time, it has sent a document urging the investors, requesting them to report on the progress of project investment and construction to summarize and report to the Vinh City People's Committee.
