According to observations by a reporter from Nguoi Dua Tin , this illegal construction project is nearing completion. The road leading to the construction site is also being widened to facilitate the transportation of construction materials by heavy machinery.

Speaking with reporters, the leader of Duong Dong ward said that the authorities are advising the competent agencies to thoroughly address the illegal construction. The ward committee has drawn up a report, reminded and warned the landowner not to continue the violation, but the people still disregarded the law and continued to build illegally, even at night.

At the same time, local authorities have been compiling documents to handle this illegal construction in accordance with the law.
