In the early days of May, in the project area, many machines and equipment were mobilized to level the ground. Interspersed between the large construction site are houses being dismantled, and new resettlement areas gradually forming.
According to the People's Committee of Au Lau ward, up to now, 164/165 households in phase I have been inventoried, compensation plans have been developed and basically agreed with the land recovery policy.
Mr. Tran Van Chau - a full-time official of the Tran Yen Industrial Park Site Clearance Team - said that the implementation process has encountered many difficulties due to the large workload, directly related to the rights of the people.
However, all obstacles are reviewed and removed in the spirit of ensuring legitimate rights for affected households.
The locality is focusing on completing the electricity and water system in the resettlement area before May 15 so that people can soon stabilize their lives" - Mr. Chau said.
In the Truc Thanh residential group resettlement area, many new houses have begun to be built. However, many households still have to rent temporary houses because the infrastructure is not synchronously completed.
Mr. Tran Minh Ngo, Bao Lam area, Au Lau ward shared that his family was recovered more than 1ha of land, including 373m2 of residential land, and has been compensated more than 3 billion VND.
We agree with the State's policy, hoping that the project will be implemented soon for local development. However, electricity, water and roads in the resettlement area are not yet completed, so life is still inconvenient, and families have to live temporarily" - Mr. Ngo said.
Faced with this reality, the government proposed that the Project Management Board for Investment and Construction of Tran Yen area soon complete the electricity and water infrastructure in the resettlement area to organize land allocation to households.
