According to the Department of Construction of Lam Dong province, the North-South high-speed railway project passes through 18 communes and wards with a length of more than 156km. To implement the project, it is necessary to clear more than 930 hectares of land, build 2 stations and 4 maintenance stations.
The site clearance work is expected to be implemented from February 2025 to June 2028. The province has now determined the route boundaries and is building resettlement areas to serve more than 1,100 households that must be relocated.
It is expected that about 1,150 households will be affected. Of which, 45 households will be arranged in existing residential areas, the remaining 1,105 households will be arranged in 9 new resettlement areas, with a total area of about 28.5 hectares, including 1,465 plots of land. The total cost of building these 9 resettlement areas is about 447 billion VND.
Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Nguyen Hong Hai assigned the Provincial Civil and Industrial Construction Investment Project Management Board (Project Management Board No. 2) as the investor of the resettlement areas.
The provincial leaders determined to organize a groundbreaking ceremony for Ham Kiem Resettlement Area. Therefore, it is recommended that relevant departments and localities focus on implementation and report the review results to the People's Committee on July 24, 2025.
For the remaining resettlement areas, localities need to immediately organize land inventory within the scope.
Including the expected content of land acquisition plans, resettlement site clearance, and implementation capital sources. In particular, localities need to determine the scope of land that the project passes through, need to strictly manage land; do not let the situation of planting trees or building houses on project land happen.
Some localities said that during the implementation process, they still encountered difficulties such as planning resettlement areas without State land resources or not in the planning...
However, leaders of communes and wards where the project passes through said that they will focus on removing difficulties, quickly reviewing, inventorying and promptly developing plans for site clearance.
