Persistent project suspension

Mr. Pham Quang Tu - a resident of Ha My Trung block, Dien Duong ward (Dien Ban town) said that his father, Mr. Pham Loi (deceased), had 11 children. The family was granted a certificate of land use rights for 2,110 square ^meters , residential land type.

From 2016 to 2019, Dien Ban Town People's Committee issued two decisions to reclaim the entire residential land area mentioned above (clearance). Mr. Tu's family has demolished the house and handed over the land to the project. On April 24, 2019, Dien Ban Town Resettlement Council met to consider resettlement of 4 plots of land for his family (phase 1 is 1 plot, phase 2 is 3 plots).

On January 9, 2020, the authorities and investors (Dien Ban Land Fund Development Center, Dien Duong Ward People's Committee, VN Da Thanh Group) specifically agreed on the resettlement location for the family.

However, up to now, the responsible agencies have not yet granted land use rights, although the family has repeatedly petitioned and complained to the People's Committee of Dien Ban town but has not been resolved.

“It has been 8 years since the decision to reclaim the land was issued. Now my father is dead, my younger brother is dead, and my mother is old. Is there still the strength to wait? This is not a project for the welfare of the people or for national security and defense. The land reclamation is only for businesses to exploit the land fund.

I propose that the Provincial People's Council, with its authority, request the People's Committee of Dien Ban town to cancel the decisions to reclaim my family's land, when the resettlement work has not been resolved" - Mr. Tu proposed.

In the 5 wards of Dong Dien Ban, there are currently about 150 real estate and commercial housing projects. Dien Duong ward alone has 64 projects, of which 3 projects have lasted for over 20 years but have not yet been completed, causing many difficulties for people's lives, especially in dividing plots, transferring to children to live separately, and even repairing and building new houses cannot be done.

Even at the resettlement project in village 1 Dien Duong, although the technical work has stopped, people still cannot change the land use purpose or divide the plots...

Mr. Trinh Van Vinh - a resident of Ha My Dong block, Dien Duong ward, suggested that the provincial authorities should issue policies and mechanisms so that people in the project area have the same rights as other places or consider canceling projects that have lasted too long so that people can live, do business and make a living on their own land.

Real estate project classification

At the meeting with voters of the Provincial People's Council delegation yesterday morning, August 1, besides the reflections on the university village project and dredging the Co Co River that took too long, most of the opinions were related to land issues, suspended projects, cramped, patchy, and uneven traffic infrastructure, etc., requesting that they be thoroughly resolved. Some even said that, with many outstanding issues in the Eastern region, the time to organize a meeting with voters in just one session was not enough.

According to Ms. Nguyen Thi Thuy Hang - Vice Chairman of Dien Ban Town People's Committee, every month the Town People's Committee receives people, and even every day there is a reception department working so people can contact to discuss their recommendations, difficulties and problems to be guided and resolved promptly.

Regarding projects in the town, the leaders of the town People's Committee have also assigned the Urban Management Department to advise, review project groups, and propose solutions in the coming time. Any issues within the town's authority will be resolved, and any issues related to higher levels will be proposed for resolution by Dien Ban...

Speaking at the meeting with voters, Mr. Le Tri Thanh - Chairman of the Provincial Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee said that although the province's economic growth rate in the first 6 months of the year reached 2.7%, difficulties still lie ahead. In addition to the indefinite closure of the Heineken Quang Nam brewery, causing the province to lose 500 - 700 billion VND/year in budget revenue, revenue from real estate was also not achieved.

Worryingly, Truong Hai's auto tax revenue is also facing difficulties due to competition between car and electric car manufacturers..., leading to many obstacles in balancing funding for project works in the investment portfolio for the period 2020 - 2024, some projects must be extended past 2026 to continue to be invested.

In response to voters' feedback as well as Dien Ban's difficulties in revenue sources to implement projects, Mr. Thanh said that the province will continue to monitor and provide maximum support to Dien Ban to invest in traffic infrastructure, avoiding congestion, environmental pollution, and localized flooding during the rainy season...

The province has also reviewed all the existing problems and difficulties of real estate projects and residential projects in the province and has given directions to resolve the problems. Accordingly, the projects will be divided into 5 groups, depending on the situation of each project group, there will be solutions to resolve them.

Any projects that are too entangled in site clearance and cannot be completed must be closed for adjustment, closed for the project to not last too long, transferred back to Dien Ban, the locality can use capital to make or remove planning, renovate residential areas so that people can continue to build houses on the basis of expanding roads, investing in better drainage systems...
