The Hanoi Ring Road 4 project is about 59.2km long, passing through 17 wards and communes with a total recovered land area of 800.15ha and 9,039 graves that need to be moved.
Up to now, after 3 years and 2 months of implementation, wards and communes have completed the construction of 13/13 resettlement areas, completed land acquisition, site clearance, tomb relocation, and surface underground construction relocation to ensure progress.
To have clean ground to implement Ring Road 4 project, grassroots Party committees and authorities have urgently intervened, directly going to the area to propagate, mobilize, dialogue, and fully explain to people about the State's policy, compensation, support, and resettlement policies in accordance with regulations.
In case households still do not comply with the handover of land, the commune-level People's Committee plans to enforce and recover land so as not to affect the overall progress of the project.
Consensus is the deciding factor
In O Dien commune, the volume of site clearance for the Ring Road 4 project is about 72 hectares of land, involving many households and individuals; at the same time, it is necessary to relocate the technical infrastructure system and more than 1,300 graves within the project area.
Mr. Nguyen Phuc Hoan - Deputy Head of the Economic Department of O Dien commune - affirmed: "The workload is very large, the time is urgent, but the commune determines to do it step by step, in accordance with the law. When people understand the meaning of the project and their rights are guaranteed, consensus is the decisive factor".
In Yen Nghia ward, the volume of site clearance for Ring Road 4 project is nearly 34.7 ha (mainly agricultural land and residential land). For households building illegal houses on agricultural land that do not meet resettlement conditions, the ward has arranged temporary accommodation to have time to stabilize their lives. In particular, nearly 1,600 graves have been relocated thanks to propaganda and mobilization by local authorities.
Mr. Nguyen Nguyen Quan - Secretary of the Party Committee, Chairman of the People's Council of Yen Nghia ward said: "The issues related to people's petitions are all concerned by the Party Committee and local authorities, considered and resolved promptly and proposed specific mechanisms and policies for difficult cases, cases that do not meet the conditions for support according to legal regulations".
The Ring Road 4 project in Hanoi Capital region through Me Linh commune is 4.9km long, with a total land area to be recovered of 58.8ha, involving about 1,938 households, of which more than 200 residential land plots must be resettled.
In the process of organizing coercion, the commune always puts mobilization and persuasion first. Before the time of announcing the coercion decision, the majority of households voluntarily complied and handed over the land.
Even in one final case, after announcing the enforcement decision, they agreed and handed over the site, preventing complicated security and order situations.



Coercion in accordance with the law
In An Khanh commune, the land recovery enforcement board has coordinated with professional departments and functional forces to organize enforcement against households that have not complied with the handover of land for Ring Road 4.
Cases requiring land recovery enforcement at Canh Ga area and in hamlet 2, La Tinh village.


Before organizing the coercion, leaders of An Khanh Commune People's Committee and departments, branches, and mass organizations have directly gone to the area many times to propagate, mobilize, dialogue, and fully explain the State's policy, compensation, support, and resettlement policies in accordance with regulations.
However, although the local government has shown a sense of responsibility, listened to and resolved legitimate petitions, the household still did not comply with the handover of land, affecting the overall progress of the project.
The coercion process is deployed in the correct order and procedures according to the provisions of law, ensuring publicity, democracy, objectivity, absolute safety of people and property, and maintaining security and order in the area.
