Following the truck's mark

The Phu Minh resettlement project is located next to Ho Chi Minh road, which is expected to be arranged for 12 households that have registered in Phu Minh village to move to, and are in the process of leveling the ground. Next to the project, a red dirt road extends onto a hill.
On the morning of April 24, a reporter from Lao Dong Newspaper was present in Phu Minh village, where people reported the above situation.

After pouring the soil, the truck turned, continue the old rotation. A bulldozer came to level the flat ground.

On the ground, the wheel marks are clearly covered with red dust; the hillside is deeply dug, revealing a red layer of soil.
At the site of the dumping ground, another truck had problems, the body and front of the truck were lifted to the sky. At 9:35 a.m., this truck moved out of the resettlement area along the Ho Chi Minh Road.

"Illegal land" leveling resettlement areas
After recording the reality, Lao Dong Newspaper reporters contacted the People's Committee of Thuong Hoa commune to clarify the information. The commune leaders assigned Mr. Cao Xuan Son - a cadastral officer, in charge of the agricultural sector to answer related questions.
Talking to reporters, Mr. Son confirmed that there are currently no licensed land mines in the area.
However, Mr. Son said that in the commune, there is a digging area owned by a household (residing in Phu Minh village). This household is planning to renovate the land to make a farm and let the construction unit scoop up the land to level the Phu Minh Resettlement Area project.
According to Mr. Son, the land area where people are renovating is production forest land. Taking land here to fill the resettlement area is against regulations.
