On July 6, the Phu Quoc special zone government (An Giang) carried out coercive land recovery for 2 cases to implement the Ba Keo Resort Tourist Area Project in Quarter 7 Duong Dong, Phu Quoc Special Zone.
The project to build Ba Keo Resort in Quarter 7, Duong Dong has been implemented for many years to change the urban appearance and promote local tourism. Most people have agreed to hand over the site, but there are still cases of intentionally prolonging the time, not complying with the provisions of law even though local authorities have made every effort to create conditions and extend implementation many times.
Faced with that situation, Phu Quoc Special Zone People's Committee issued decisions to enforce land recovery against 2 households who intentionally delayed in this area.
It is known that the Ba Keo Resort Tourist Area Project in Quarter 7, Duong Dong town (now Quarter 7 Duong Dong, Phu Quoc Special Zone) is a key planning project.
Right from the end of 2007, Phu Quoc District People's Committee at that time issued decisions to recover land for households in the affected area to hand over the clean ground to the management unit and implement compensation plans.
In which, Mr. H.V. A's household was recovered a total area of more than 853 m2 (including 154 m2 of residential land and more than 699 m2 of agricultural land) according to Decision No. 2204 dated December 21, 2007. Similarly, Ms. N.T. N's household also received decision No. 2205 dated December 24, 2007 with an area of more than 514 m2. To date, nearly 20 years have passed. While other households have early received compensation and resettlement support to stabilize their new lives, contributing to putting the project into operation, these 2 households still resolutely do not cooperate, deliberately cling to and do not hand over land.
The Phu Quoc special zone government and departments and agencies have fully applied measures from explanation, propaganda, mobilization, to direct dialogue and proposed maximum compensation and support plans in accordance with the provisions of land law. Even, functional agencies have continuously postponed deadlines, issued many decisions extending the time for coercion to give households more time to voluntarily dismantle and relocate to avoid having to apply strong administrative measures.
