Compensation for land clearance on National Highway 1A through Nghe An must be completed before May 31.

According to the report of the Department of Construction, since the Provincial People's Committee allocated 1,275 billion VND to districts and towns to settle compensation for site clearance (including the delayed payment) of the National Highway 1A expansion projects through Nghe An province, the central budget tasks have arisen after these projects have been finalized.

Although the Provincial People's Committee and departments and branches have issued 283 documents directing the handling and removal of obstacles in the work of handling petitions, funding, and making compensation plans for site clearance; of which the Provincial People's Committee alone has issued 108 documents of various types; the districts have also actively participated in disbursing funds according to schedule. However, due to many difficulties and obstacles, the payment is still slow.

According to the presentation of local representatives, the biggest difficulty at present is that the records and documents are incomplete; the assignment of ownership of many plots of land is difficult; there are no maps to determine boundary markers; not to mention many localities have also received a number of petitions from new land users or previous land users due to disputes...

Therefore, up to this point, localities have only disbursed 596,912 billion VND/1,275 billion VND allocated (reaching 46.8%), of which: Hoang Mai Town: 149.6 billion VND; Quynh Luu 96,128 billion; Dien Chau 345,618 billion; Vinh City 5,566 billion; the remaining 678,088 billion VND has not been disbursed.

At this meeting, localities continued to recommend the Provincial People's Committee to direct relevant departments and branches to provide guidance to resolve problems in cases of missing records and documents; appraise records, approve additional extracts and measurements for cases that localities have submitted.

In particular, in the context of implementing the policy of not organizing district-level government according to Conclusion 127-KL/TW of the Politburo, if the payment is not completed as soon as possible, it will be very difficult when this task has to be assigned to the communes later.

Concluding the meeting, Mr. Hoang Phu Hien - Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee requested localities to promptly pay for cases where compensation plans have been approved; at the same time, requested localities to report and continuously update progress to the Provincial People's Committee; carefully review, not omit any subjects and require localities to make commitments to these figures, in order to avoid future petitions and complaints.

Comrade Hoang Phu Hien also requested that localities must complete compensation payments before May 31, 2025.
