District government is about to end operations, many unfinished tasks
In many localities, the end of the operation of district-level governments is approaching, but there are still a series of backlogs that cannot be resolved. Typically, site clearance for large infrastructure projects, payment of basic construction debts, arrangement of staff and job transfer, especially in Dien Chau, Yen Thanh and Nam Dan districts.
In Dien Chau district, according to the report of the District People's Committee, the project to renovate and upgrade National Highway 7 is still stuck with 389m that has not been reclaimed, corresponding to 37 plots of land in Dien Cat commune, Dien Phuc and Dien Thanh town. Similarly, Yen Thanh district also has 703m of land that has not been handed over, mainly due to people requesting compensation for the land that is outside the red book, or is in land dispute.
Nam Dan District - where the National Highway 46 expansion project is located, Vinh - Nam Dan section - has only cleared 6/10.7km, reaching 56%. The main difficulties are the residential land area, garden land associated with residential land of hundreds of households along the National Highway. Many households have not agreed on the compensation plan, while legal factors and policies changed according to the new Land Law, which has further prolonged the approval process.
Not only infrastructure projects, but some personnel and regime issues are also pending. In Nam Dan alone, there are currently 25 primary school teachers who have applied to transfer to secondary school level that have not been resolved. In Vinh City, there are about 60 contract teachers and staff who do not know how their policies will be resolved when they move to the two-level government.
Urgently complete tasks, transfer documents to the new government
Faced with the above situation, on June 16, Mr. Hoang Phu Hien, Vice Chairman of Nghe An Provincial People's Committee, said that he had requested the districts to focus highly, mobilizing maximum resources to complete the remaining tasks.
In particular, special emphasis is placed on propaganda and mobilizing people to comply with the compensation, support and resettlement policy in accordance with regulations, ensuring the handover of the site before June 25 to avoid affecting the project's progress.
For cases that do not meet the conditions for compensation, or are intentionally obstructed even though they have been dialogue and mobilized, Mr. Hien suggested that localities proactively organize enforcement in accordance with legal procedures, protect construction to keep up with progress.
The Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee also requested Project Management Board 4 to actively coordinate with localities and departments to remove obstacles; direct contractors to speed up the construction of the sections that have been handed over to avoid re-encroachment and ensure environmental sanitation and traffic safety.
For the contents of handling petitions, complaints, and compensation payments, districts are required to urgently review and handle them before the deadline of June 25. At the same time, it is necessary to synthesize and classify site clearance records, identify clear landowners and compensation subjects, and fully store them to transfer to the new government after July 1, 2025 - the time when local authorities at both levels officially operate.
The leaders of Nghe An province also directed departments and branches to closely coordinate with localities in completing procedures and guiding the handling of arising bottlenecks, especially in land valuation, appraisal of support plans, acceleration of relocation of technical infrastructure works and arrangement of resettlement areas for affected people.
