In this project, there are still 2,947 m2 of uncleared land due to problems with a household whose land is on the road to Song Khe commune cemetery (now in Tien Phong ward). Currently, the Company is carrying out procedures to adjust the investment project (adjust the boundary), adjusting the detailed planning without taking into account this boundary.
