This is also the transportation project with the largest total number of households and land area to be recovered ever in Cao Bang province.
In Hanh Phuc commune (Quang Hoa district), there are 9 hamlets with a length of 12 km and 510 households with crops, land, assets, constructions on the land... affected and need to be relocated.
When hearing the news that the highway was under construction, the people in the commune were all happy and supportive. Mr. Ma Van Thu (residing in Lung Tao hamlet - Ban Tin) - shared: "I have rice fields that are subject to compensation. When the commune informed us about the land clearance, we all happily agreed. Up to now, my family has received full compensation."
Many people, when they heard that their families had to move to another place to hand over the land for the construction of the highway, were still very happy to cooperate.
On November 12, speaking with reporters, Ms. Dinh Thi Bien - Chairman of the People's Committee of Hanh Phuc Commune, Quang Hoa District - said: "The spirit of the people is to cooperate completely, the counting and site clearance is going smoothly."
According to the Chairman of the People's Committee of Hanh Phuc commune, the only thing people care about is that the units build the road quickly so that people who need to go to Hanoi will be closer.
"The route through the area has only one hamlet with less than 100 households that have not been counted because the route adjustment has not been completed. When the results of the route adjustment are available, the locality will count and compensate, and the people will immediately hand over the land to the project enterprise," Ms. Bien informed.
