Ha Long: Creating consensus in site clearance work

The route connecting National Highway 18A, Hong Hai Ward (Bui Thi Xuan Street section) with Provincial Road 336 (Ha Lam Ward) will shorten the distance between the city's central areas and the people of Cao Thang and Ha Lam wards.

The route connecting National Highway 18A, Hong Hai Ward (Bui Thi Xuan Street) with Provincial Road 336 (Ha Lam Ward) and the land fund on both sides of the road has a total investment of nearly 600 billion VND. This is one of the four key projects of the city that has encountered difficulties in site clearance. According to the design, the project has a total length of nearly 1.5km, affecting 68 households in Ha Lam Ward with an area of ​​nearly 22,000m2 ^. After completion, the project will fundamentally change the urban appearance, shorten the travel distance between Ha Lam, Cao Thang to the center of Ha Long City, and will help reduce traffic congestion at the Cuu Hoa intersection to Cao Thang, Ha Lam.

However, due to difficulties in determining land origin, determining land prices, people not fully understanding the State's compensation mechanism... by the end of February 2025, in Ha Lam ward, there were still 21 households that did not agree with the compensation plan, did not relocate or dismantle assets, leading to difficulties for the construction unit in constructing and transporting excess land of the project, causing the overall construction progress of the project to only reach 21%. Faced with this situation, the leaders of Ha Long City directly inspected the site, organized dialogues, and listened to people's opinions. At the same time, they directed the Land Fund Development Center, the Department of Natural Resources and Environment and Ha Lam ward to focus on coordinating to urgently and drastically implement propaganda, mobilization, inventory, and develop compensation, support and land recovery plans.

Ha Lam Ward joins hands to help people move to new accommodation after handing over the site.

Ms. Bui Thi Huyen Trang, Secretary of the Party Committee of Ha Lam Ward, shared: Following the city's direction, in March 2025, Ha Lam Ward established 3 working groups, clearly defining target groups to have appropriate forms of propaganda and mobilization. The working groups directly come to work, grasp the needs, thoughts and thoroughly resolve the recommendations of the people. For the content beyond the authority, the ward promptly reports and proposes to the city; for the content that cannot be resolved immediately, it will accept, study and have solutions to gradually overcome. Along with the work of mobilizing and resolving petitions, the ward also focuses on mobilizing socialization to help households remove and relocate assets, speed up the process of granting land use right certificates in resettlement areas... Thanks to that, many people's problems and concerns were promptly resolved and in just March 2025, all households subject to the project's land acquisition and clearance agreed to hand over the site.

The project of Square, trees and technical infrastructure of Bai Tho Mountain cultural area - Expansion, renovation and embellishment of Duc Ong Tran Quoc Nghien temple is being accelerated by contractors.

With this approach, Hong Gai ward has successfully mobilized people to agree and receive compensation for land acquisition and clearance to implement 4 key projects and works, including: Square, trees and technical infrastructure project connecting Bai Tho Mountain Cultural Area; Green park project from Duc Ong Tran Quoc Nghien temple area to Bai Tho bridge; Construction of new Cultural House of Ward 1 and renovation of the road leading to Cultural House of Ward 1; Renovation and upgrading of lane 18, Ba Deo street.

Ha Long City organizes compulsory land acquisition for the project of the road connecting Provincial Road 342 to National Highway 279 through the center of Son Duong commune.

On the side of the City Land Fund Development Center, the unit primarily responsible for site clearance work, has also implemented many flexible solutions to promptly hand over the land for projects. The Center regularly proposes to the Council for Appraising Compensation, Support and Resettlement Plans to speed up the appraisal of plans to submit to the City People's Committee for approval as a basis for payment and mobilizing people to promptly hand over the land; proactively handle land-related problems and propose solutions to solve problems if they exceed its authority; review and develop progress plans for each project and each specific household, classify them according to levels from difficult to easy to proactively apply effective measures in land recovery.

In addition to strictly following the land acquisition and clearance process, the Center has closely followed actual conditions, made maximum use of policies for the people, advised the city to promptly report and propose to the Provincial People's Committee to consider and direct the resolution of problems regarding mechanisms and policies on compensation, support, and resettlement according to its authority; strictly implemented the announcement and publicization of planning...

Thanks to the close coordination between functional agencies and the drastic participation of local authorities at all levels, by April 15, 5,424/5,826 households and units had completed the inventory. The number of households and units that had handed over the land was 3,751 households and units. This result ensured that 50/69 key projects of the province and city had achieved 50-95% land clearance.

Mr. Le Viet Hai, Director of the Ha Long City Land Fund Development Center, said: The Center is actively coordinating with localities to strengthen the propaganda and dissemination of the State's policies and laws related to compensation and site clearance so that people can grasp and understand clearly. In the process of propaganda and mobilization, it is inevitable that a small number of people do not agree. The proposed solution is to tighten the implementation of legal regulations, not to allow errors and delays to affect the legitimate and legal interests of the people. The Center's determination is to complete the site clearance work for 26/69 key projects by June 31, 2025, the time before the district level is dissolved. Thereby, ensuring that the city's public investment projects are completed ahead of schedule compared to the original plan.
