Hai Phong will enforce demolition of a house that was 'wrongly demolished'

It is expected that this afternoon, the An Duong district government will issue a decision to enforce the demolition of a house at the Ton Duc Thang - Nguyen Van Linh intersection that was mistakenly demolished.

According to the People's Committee of An Duong district, Ms. Pham Thi Thu Trang's house and 4 other adjacent houses were rented by an electronics company as a store and had large advertising signs since 2020. In early 2023, the People's Committee of Hai Phong City implemented the intersection project at the Ton Duc Thang - Nguyen Van Linh intersection, the entire land of 5 houses rented to the electronics supermarket was subject to clearance. 4 families agreed to the compensation plan and handed over the premises, but Ms. Trang's family did not agree.

On the morning of August 10, 2023, while demolishing billboards on the land of 4 houses that had already handed over the land, a private unit hired by the An Duong District Construction Investment Project Management Board damaged Ms. Trang's house. "The construction unit did not do a good job, but no one would intentionally demolish a private house without agreeing to the compensation plan," said the leader of An Duong District.

After the incident, Ms. Trang filed a complaint with the An Duong District Police, requesting an investigation into the destruction of citizens' property and theft, because she claimed that "many belongings and a safe containing 30 million VND were lost" in the demolition. The An Duong District Police concluded that there were no signs of a crime and did not initiate a case. To date, Ms. Trang has filed a complaint with many agencies requesting a resolution.

In order for the intersection project to be implemented on schedule, on December 14, 2023, the People's Committee of An Duong district issued land recovery notices to 139 households. Up to now, there are still 8 households (including Ms. Trang's house) who have not complied with the land handover to implement the project, even though their rights have been considered, resolved, and they have been mobilized and persuaded many times by the departments, organizations of the district and An Dong commune.

Therefore, the People's Committee of An Duong district is completing the legal documents to issue a decision to enforce land repossession this afternoon. "The repossession will not affect the process of resolving Ms. Trang's petition about her house being damaged by the construction unit," the leader of An Duong district affirmed.

The project of the grade-separated interchange at the intersection of Ton Duc Thang - Nguyen Van Linh Street will be implemented in the 2021-2024 period, with a total investment of nearly 670 billion VND from the Hai Phong City budget, and is expected to be put into use before the Lunar New Year 2024.
