"No one wants a cemetery near a residential area"
According to the investigation of the Lao Dong Newspaper, up to now, the area of agricultural land recovered and related procedures have been completed. Enforcement is also carried out in cases where compensation is not received and the land is not handed over.
It is known that the project is mainly implemented in Quang Thanh ward. In this locality, there are 95 households whose land was recovered, of which 13 households have not agreed to receive compensation. According to the households, the reason is that: during the implementation process, the counting and measuring were not correct with the actual land area. In addition, the compensation price is still low and there are concerns about environmental pollution.
“The reason why households do not agree is because they think that when implementing the land recovery project and handing it over to the enterprise, the enterprise must negotiate with the people about the compensation price, instead of applying the land recovery price of the State,” - the representative of the leader of Quang Thanh ward informed the reporter of Lao Dong Newspaper.
According to the representative of Quang Thanh ward, at many meetings with households, the authorities explained: This is a project in which the State reclaims land to serve public interests. However, some households have not yet agreed to receive compensation.
