The Party Secretary and Chairman of the People's Committee of the communes and wards where the project passes must take direct and comprehensive responsibility, direct with a decisive and proactive spirit, not push or avoid; promptly report arising issues to the Head of the Committee and the Steering Committee for consideration and direction to resolve.

Investors should enhance their roles and responsibilities, proactively coordinate, support, and urge communes and wards to carry out compensation, support, and resettlement work for assigned sections, ensuring progress and quality.

Regarding the North-South high-speed railway project through Gia Lai province, Provincial Party Secretary Thai Dai Ngoc requested to continue monitoring and proactively coordinating with the Ministry of Construction and the Railway Project Management Board so that as soon as the selection of a consulting unit to prepare the project Feasibility Study Report is completed, the documents will be reviewed, the route will be agreed upon, and the stakes and markers will be planted immediately, and the land clearance work will be handed over to the localities. Relevant departments, branches, sectors and localities will promptly resolve or propose solutions to arising problems to speed up the site clearance work, meeting the project's progress requirements.

The Department of Agriculture and Environment shall preside over and coordinate with the Department of Construction to regularly review material mines, ensure reserves and timely supply for construction, and prevent shortages from affecting project progress; at the same time, the exploitation of mines must be strictly managed, clearly and transparently, to avoid loss of resources.
