Provincial inspectors have stepped in.

In Decision No. 518/QD-UBND dated April 16, 2007, Bac Ninh province reclaimed land for Bac Ninh Dike and Flood and Storm Prevention Department (now the Irrigation Department, under the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development of Bac Ninh province) to implement the project of renovating, upgrading and completing the Duong left dike, Tien Du district. However, regarding this decision, people all affirmed that when they came to sign the list, the compensation amount was not recorded, but only 150 thousand VND/person was given, then submitted to the officials of Ren village and received 20 thousand VND. So what purpose did Ren village keep that money for? While the people deserved that money!

Similarly, Decision No. 1768/QD-UBND dated September 26, 2009, Bac Ninh province reclaimed land for Bac Ninh Dike and Flood and Storm Prevention Department to implement the Project of renovating, upgrading and completing the left dyke of Duong from Km 22+360 to Km 33+555, Tien Du district. Many people in Ren village affirmed: Households were mobilized to sign, but this time they did not have to take money to pay Ren village, but people only signed and received 20,000 VND. The scenario was repeated last time, although it was different in that this time people signed but did not have to take money to pay the village.

Mr. Nguyen Dinh Huong, Secretary - Head of Ren village, was indignant: People are currently growing bananas, which give high yields and have contributed to improving the lives of more than 200 households. Recently, they suddenly received a notice that they "lost the right" to use agricultural land because the land was reclaimed by the State! People are very confused and have sent petitions to many places but Bac Ninh province has not yet thoroughly resolved them.

Mr. Nguyen Ba Luan, Secretary of the Party Committee of Canh Hung commune, said: What the people have reported is true. According to the decision to reclaim land in one way, the government directed to take land in another way. They paid the people not in accordance with the decision approving the support and compensation plan.
