DThe project to build infrastructure in the center of Lak Lake tourist destination in Lien Son town (Lak district) approved by the Provincial People's Committee by the end of 2021 is a good sign for people in the planning area in residential group 2 (Lien Son town).
According to the plan, the compensation for site clearance will be implemented in 2022, but so far it has not been done. People here are looking forward to each day to "settle in and live in peace".
The project to build infrastructure in the center of Ho Lak tourist destination is implemented in the period of 2021 - 2025, with a total cost of more than 130 billion VND (of which the compensation cost for site clearance is more than 73,7 billion VND), invested by the Provincial Civil and Industrial Construction Investment Project Management Board. The project focuses on renovating and upgrading Au Co Street (starting from the junction of the District Political Center to the District Party Committee headquarters), with a total length of over 2 km and renovating a 1 km long road corridor (from Lak Resort to the District Police headquarters).

In mid-October 10, the Lak District People's Committee approved the plan for land acquisition, investigation, survey, measurement and tally of the project. Accordingly, the District People's Committee has assigned the District Land Fund Development Center to coordinate with relevant agencies, units and individuals to carry out the inspection of the current state of the land, measure and count assets attached to the land, and complete the documents to prepare a plan for compensation and resettlement support. The unit has completed the records of measurement and inventory of land and land-attached assets of 2022 households, individuals and 56 organization, with a total area of more than 1 hectares.
The plan for land acquisition, investigation, survey, measurement and tally of the project has been issued and implemented since the end of 2022. However, up to now, the land clearance work has not been completed, causing people to worry. As one of the first people to live in the planned land since 1988, Mr. Nguyen Van Tuan (72 years old, residential group 2) understands better than anyone the suffering of the people living here. According to Mr. Tuan, from 1990 until now, the district has planned this place as a tourist area, people are not allowed to build houses but wait for compensation to move to another place, do not know when to do it. In 2012, his children got married, his health deteriorated, could not bear to live in a makeshift house, Mr. Tuan had to borrow money to buy land elsewhere and build a house to stabilize his life. Currently, the bank debt is 500 million dong, each year he has to pay more than 70 million dong in interest. Due to his old age, he cannot afford to pay the loan, so Mr. Tuan hopes the local government will quickly compensate the site clearance to repay the debt, and live the rest of his life with peace of mind.
In 1990, from Yen Bai province, Mr. Trinh Duy Son's family (67 years old, residential group 2) settled in this land. For more than 30 years, his family had to live in a makeshift level 4 house with only 50 square meters. Mr. Son said, on the first day of starting a business, the family of 2 lived in a temporary wooden house, which has decayed and deteriorated over the years. In 5, the house collapsed after a strong wind, he had to write to the local government to rebuild. Seeing that his family's situation was difficult, the government approved him to build a small house built at level 2018 to live temporarily. However, the house is cramped and hot when the dry season comes, making the family's daily life very difficult. Therefore, when he heard about the project's launch, he was very pleased to cooperate with the staff to quickly move to a new place. However, nearly half a year after the tally has not been compensated or relocated, he is "impatient" because his health has gradually weakened ...

Head of the Lak District Department of Natural Resources and Environment Pham Thanh said that up to now, the compensation and support plan has not been approved because in the project area, there are 13 households and individuals that need to be resettled and 17 families are eligible for compensation by allocating residential land in the resettlement area. However, up to now, the investor is still preparing documents to build a resettlement area for the project. The resettlement area has not been established and built, so the land has not been recovered from eligible households for resettlement arrangement and compensation with residential land. In addition, in 2023, the Provincial People's Committee no longer authorizes the District People's Committee to approve specific land prices to calculate compensation when the State recovers land. The District People's Committee has established the land price according to the order and procedures and made a dossier to submit to the Department of Natural Resources and Environment, the Land Price Appraisal Council and the Provincial People's Committee for consideration and approval. Up to now, the specific land price has not been approved by the competent authority.
Facing the above situation, the People's Committee of Lak district proposed the Department of Natural Resources and Environment, the Department of Finance, and related departments to soon appraise and submit to the Provincial People's Committee for approval a specific land price to calculate compensation when the State recovers the land to have a basis for making plans for compensation, support and resettlement for project implementation. At the same time, the investor needs to soon complete the procedures for setting up and building a resettlement area and submit it to the competent authorities for approval so that there is a basis for building a compensation, support and resettlement plan upon land recovery in accordance with the provisions of law.
