Talking to a reporter of Lao Dong Newspaper, Mr. Hoang Anh Vu - Chairman of Thien Thuat Commune People's Committee - affirmed that immediately after receiving information reflected from the press, the commune leaders immediately directed professional departments to urgently clarify the matter.
Representatives of the Commune Economic Department added that the unit has summarized information and reported the entire content to the leaders of the Commune People's Committee to ask for instructions.
In the immediate future, the Economic Department advises on a plan to organize field surveys to re-measure the entire current situation, in order to accurately determine the location and area of the affected land area.
However, initial inspection work is facing some technical problems.
Because the leveling area is quite large and the shape of the land plot is complex, it is not possible to carry out manual measurements. Meanwhile, the Commune People's Committee is currently not equipped with electronic surveying machines or RTK satellite positioning equipment to determine accurate boundaries. We are having to contact and borrow specialized surveying machines from relevant units to serve the inspection work," shared a representative of the Commune Economic Department.
Previously, as Lao Dong Newspaper reflected, many people in Pac Khuong village expressed outrage and anxiety at the fact that Mr. Loc Van Dong's household massively brought machinery to level part of the hill behind the house, filling even rice fields with the aim of dividing plots and selling land.
Real-world records in early May showed that the site was a messy large construction site. Not only stopping at changing the land status, Mr. Dong also publicly offered to sell these areas at a price of 2.5 million VND/m2, applying the same price for all locations.
According to the "advertisement" of the land owner, this area is nearly 4,000m2 wide, and it is expected to open more internal roads.
Mr. Dong affirmed that he would take care of all expenses to "issue a red book" for customers and offered an extremely "flexible" deposit policy: acquaintances deposit less, strangers deposit more, and the remaining amount is paid when receiving the book.
Believing in the promises of "waiting for procedures to convert to residential land", in fact, some customers have "deposited money".
However, Mr. Nguyen Huy Thai - civil servant of the Economic Department of Thien Thuat commune - informed: "The area that Mr. Loc Van Dong's family is leveling actually includes 2 small rice land plots (1,604.7m2 and 146.7m2), the rest is a very large area up to 53,336m2 belonging to the forest land plan".
In particular, representatives of the commune government confirmed that up to now, the Commune People's Committee has not received any documents requesting land use purpose conversion or land use right transfer dossiers from Mr. Dong's household.
