The project to renovate area I of Hue Citadel is in disarray, the relics are 'turned' into forests

However, due to land problems, many households in the area of ​​clearance continue to "stick" in the project area, refusing to move, causing the work of cleaning, beautifying, and returning the site of area I of the capital. Hue is behind schedule. The entire 10km length of Hue's Upper Citadel perimeter and related areas still cannot be handed over to the Hue Monuments Conservation Center.

As noted by the reporter, as of early 2024, the areas of Thuong Thanh, Eo Bau, Ho Thanh Hao, Tran Binh Dai still have many households who have not yet moved their houses out of the renovation project area.

Therefore, embellishment cannot be done thoroughly in each area. In many relic lands where people's houses have not been relocated or demolished, the construction unit is forced to "zone out" and wait for clearance before continuing to return the site and clean up completely.

This situation not only hinders the renovation progress of the investor and construction units, but also causes the relic areas to be cleaned, returned to their original state, and returned to their original state. became deserted again, because it was not possible to hand over the entire site of the monument to the Hue Monuments Conservation Center to manage and promote its value.

In Thuong Thanh, Eo Bau, the eastern area adjacent to Xuan 68 Street, which has been renovated and cleaned since mid-2023, up to now, weeds and trees have grown luxuriantly and are green again. There are places where regenerated wild plants grow taller than people's heads, re-invading the banks of the Citadel. This place is about to return to the wild forest scene like before.

According to the Hue City Land Fund Development Center, the Eo Bau area around Thuong Citadel currently has 99 households that have not handed over their land; Most concentrated in Thuan Loc wards (36 households), Dong Ba (30 households), Tay Loc (24 households)...

In the Ho Thanh area, there are 723 households whose land was partially recovered, but currently only 90 households have partially demolished their houses and handed over the land, the rest are still "unmoved". At Tran Binh Dai relic, only 28/116 households subject to clearance have handed over land.

A representative of Hue City Land Fund Development Center also said that because people are not satisfied with the compensation, support and resettlement policy, there are still many households living in the relic area that have not agreed. handing over the site, affecting the progress of embellishment and landscape restoration of area I of Hue Citadel.

Although the leaders of Hue City People's Committee, departments and local authorities have many times organized dialogues, work, announcements and campaigns to answer and guide people to understand the regimes and policies. , but many families still have not complied with the handover. “Organizing to mobilize people to hand over the land soon requires more drastic participation from the government, the grassroots political system, especially the consensus of the people towards joining hands to build the city. Hue is green, clean and bright," said the representative of the Hue City Land Fund Development Center.

With the current situation, the project to embellish area I of Hue Citadel will be carried out on a rolling basis. Wherever the site is cleared, it will be cleaned, beautified, returned and handed over to the management unit there. At the same time, the functional unit also continues to request an adjustment to extend the implementation time and complete the project for another year.
