Strict management of public land.

The People's Committee of Can Tho City has directed the People's Committee of Cu Lao Dung commune and relevant authorities to resolutely and strictly handle acts of land encroachment and illegal construction on land managed by the State in the former 30-4 State Farm area. The resolution process must be carried out in accordance with the law, ensuring a balance between maintaining discipline and the goal of improving the lives of the people.

Unauthorized construction on public land.

According to Mr. Nguyen Van Dac, Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of Cu Lao Dung commune, land management at the former 30-4 State Farm is a "headache" for the local authorities and relevant agencies. The reason stems from the fact that some households have arbitrarily built shacks, occupied public land, and filed complaints "recklessly."

The working group of the People's Committee of Cu Lao Dung commune conducted a field inspection regarding the unauthorized construction of shacks on public land by local residents.

According to verification and on-site inspection, after the merger and implementation of the new administrative model, nine illegal bamboo and wooden huts have sprung up in the former 30-4 Agricultural Farm area of ​​Cu Lao Dung commune, and are being directly used by people. The commune People's Committee has drawn up a report on the current situation, measured and recorded the area of ​​the nine huts mentioned above. At the same time, they reviewed the current state of land management and use, public land management records and land use origins; propagated and encouraged individuals to voluntarily dismantle the illegal structures; and organized meetings with the individuals involved. However, the households did not directly admit to building the huts, claiming that they were "collectively built," hired people to do it, and took turns managing and using the huts.

On May 22, 2026, the People's Committee of the commune issued notices seeking individuals who had illegally occupied land and erected shacks on state-managed public land; requesting them to voluntarily dismantle the shacks and structures and restore the land to its original state before the violation. On May 26, 2026, 24 individuals came to the commune's Economic Department, admitting to jointly erecting 9 shacks to protect the land and requesting the State to continue reviewing and resolving issues related to the land of the former 30-4 State Farm. However, these individuals did not agree to voluntarily dismantle the illegal shacks and also refused to restore the public land to its original state.

With the support of the 1339 Task Force of the Can Tho City People's Committee, the working group of the Cu Lao Dung Commune People's Committee proceeded to dismantle 2 out of 9 illegally constructed shacks on map sheet No. 15, located in Vam Ho hamlet, in accordance with the law and handed over the land area to the land management agency. At the same time, a notice was issued requesting the individuals who violated the regulations (the remaining 7 shacks) to quickly dismantle their shacks and restore the land to its original state. In addition, the local authorities organized widespread public awareness campaigns using mobile loudspeakers in Vo Thanh Van and Vam Ho hamlets; posted notices at the commune People's Committee headquarters, the hamlet's community center, and published them on the commune's website.

On June 3, 2026, residents went to the commune's People's Committee office to request a temporary postponement of the demolition of the shacks. After reviewing the petition, the Cu Lao Dung Commune People's Committee found no grounds for doing so and proceeded with the next steps. On June 5, 2026, the local authorities completed the demolition of the remaining 7 shacks in accordance with regulations. During the process, some households voluntarily agreed to demolish their shacks and restore the land to its original state for the State.

Authorities enforced eviction in 17 cases of illegal occupation of public land.

Creating an environment for the development of the private economy.According to the People's Committee of Can Tho City, after the merger, the private sector in Can Tho City has approximately 20,500 operating businesses, contributing about 74% of the city's GRDP and about 24.8% of the total state budget revenue. This is an important force promoting innovation, improving labor productivity, increasing national competitiveness, contributing to poverty reduction, and stabilizing social life. In terms of industry structure, the private sector in the city is developing in a diversified direction, notably in fields such as high-tech applied agriculture, processing agricultural and aquatic products for export, trade and services, logistics, and ecotourism.

Mr. Nguyen Van Dac stated that, following the handover from the former Cu Lao Dung district, the People's Committee of Cu Lao Dung commune received files concerning 17 individuals who had built shacks and occupied public land similar to the cases mentioned above, in Vo Thanh Van hamlet, Cu Lao Dung commune, in the former 30-4 Agricultural Farm area, with a total area of ​​844.6 m2. According to the files, on June 18, 2025 and June 29, 2025, the Chairman of the People's Committee of the former Cu Lao Dung district issued decisions on administrative penalties against these 17 individuals for occupying state-managed public land. Following the policy of Can Tho City, the People's Committee of the commune proceeded with the procedures for enforcing the removal of the 17 individuals who had occupied the transferred public land. At that time, the Enforcement Committee of Cu Lao Dung commune developed two plans for organizing the enforcement of remedial measures to implement two administrative penalty decisions regarding land violations in Vo Thanh Van hamlet, Cu Lao Dung commune.

The enforcement committee of Cu Lao Dung commune issued 17 enforcement decisions related to the illegal occupation of public land in the former 30-4 Farm area.

According to Mr. Truong Hong Vinh, Deputy Head of the Economic Department of the People's Committee of Cu Lao Dung commune, on June 11, the Enforcement Committee of the People's Committee of the commune organized the enforcement of land reclamation against 17 individuals, forcing them to restore the land to its original condition before the violation. During the enforcement process, the local authorities continued to educate and persuade the people to voluntarily comply. However, the individuals disagreed for various reasons: they wanted to keep the land to wait for support policies because it was land under the management of the former 30-4 State Farm, not under the management of the People's Committee of the commune; their families had contributed to the reclamation of the land; their family circumstances were difficult, and if they returned the land, their families and children would have no land for production…

Nevertheless, the local authorities remain determined to strictly, comprehensively, seriously, and properly enforce the regulations, following the correct procedures, and to thoroughly address the violations of occupying public land in the area.

The numerous, complex, and escalated complaints related to the 30-4 State Farm have dragged on for many years and have historical implications, being handled and resolved in multiple stages. Currently, there are still around 70 households (from two groups of complainants) continuing to file complaints, escalating their requests to the city and even the central government to further petition and demand the return of the State's land from the State Farm (the areas requested by households range from 1 to 3 or 4 hectares...). Local authorities have met with and engaged in dialogue with these households, but they have failed to provide new documents or evidence, thus lacking a basis for consideration and resolution.

Allocate agricultural land to people in difficult circumstances.

Mr. Nguyen Van Dac affirmed: "For households that are truly in difficult circumstances, lacking land for production and lacking livelihood conditions in the area, the relevant levels, sectors, and localities have proactively reviewed and considered providing social welfare support. Among them, some households that violated the aforementioned regulations have been allocated land for production by the State, stabilizing their lives… However, the Party and State's policy is to resolutely handle all violations of land laws."

According to Project No. 02/DA-UBND, dated June 12, 2023, of the People's Committee of Cu Lao Dung District (formerly), 20 households were included in the project for consideration of land allocation for production; currently, land has been allocated and land use right certificates have been issued to 15 households, and these households are directly cultivating and producing stably. Project No. 06/DA-UBND-m, dated June 6, 2025, of the People's Committee of Cu Lao Dung District (formerly) is a partial successor project (phase 2) to Project No. 02/DA-UBND. To implement Project No. 06/DA-UBND-m, the People's Committee of Cu Lao Dung District (formerly) reviewed three groups of beneficiaries and projected that 99 households would be considered for land allocation for production. Currently, land has been allocated and land use right certificates issued to 6 households; these households are currently directly cultivating and producing stably. For the remaining 93 cases, the People's Committee of Cu Lao Dung commune organized a review, inspection, and verification of conditions and publicly posted the lists of land allocation for production to gather opinions (38 cases); and considered implementing land allocation procedures (55 cases). Both projects address the allocation of production land to people mainly related to the former 30-4 State Farm.

The consistent viewpoint of the Party and the State is that economic development must be linked to social progress and equity, ensuring the legitimate rights and interests of the people. In resolving cases related to public land, local authorities always strengthen propaganda, mobilization, and dialogue to ensure that people understand the policies and legal regulations; at the same time, they listen to the thoughts and aspirations of the people to find appropriate solutions.
