Accordingly, Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Nguyen Hong Hai requested relevant departments and branches to resolve difficulties and obstacles in the implementation process to ensure progress according to the set requirements. After having the results of the fire prevention and fighting design appraisal, the Department of Construction urgently reviewed and issued the results of the post-design implementation design appraisal for 7 resettlement areas in Tuy Phong, Bac Binh, Luong Son, Ham Liem, Hong Son, Ham Kiem and Tan Lap communes. Particularly for the Binh Thuan resettlement area, units need to urgently appraise the design as soon as receiving the documents to ensure the construction progress.

The Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee also reminded the Branch of the Land Fund Development Center No. 1 that because it has not met the progress requirements, it needs to improve its responsibility and be more proactive in its work.

The unit also needs to work with the Railway Management Board to arrange capital for compensation payments and ensure the start of construction on December 19.
