van truongmms — Mr. Le Van Hong, Head of the Agriculture and Environment Department of Yen Thanh District, said: "This situation is a consequence of historical issues that have persisted for many years, but the locality has yet to resolve them completely. Households who purchased land all received invoices and fulfilled their tax obligations annually; in some cases, they even received land use right certificates from the State. Currently, the local government is tightening management to prevent further cases of illegal construction or expansion. Although some cases have been penalized for administrative violations, completely stopping them remains difficult. Even with notices prohibiting buying, selling, and transferring land, many households still deliberately proceed." (Photo: Hai An)

van truong mưr — The situation of many households building permanent houses encroaching on the Vu Giang canal has been ongoing for many years. The authorities need to promptly implement decisive measures to resolve this issue completely, preventing the violations from continuing and spreading. At the same time, it is necessary to strengthen inspection and supervision to prevent people from continuing to fill in the canal with soil to build houses. Photo: Hai An
