Representative of Provincial Land Fund Development Center spoke

According to reports from investors and localities, many projects are currently behind schedule due to a number of difficulties and obstacles. The main reasons are site clearance and resettlement; there is no budget to determine specific land prices in many localities to serve compensation work; the problem of determining necessary and sufficient conditions for resettlement of people; some projects need to have adjustments in project scale and location; the situation of filled land is still lacking... In addition, there are some difficulties such as people have not agreed to receive compensation for site clearance due to disagreement on land prices; there is no determination of local authorities in enforcing site clearance.

At the conference, delegates contributed many ideas to remove obstacles and speed up the progress of traffic projects in the area, while at the same time, promoting propaganda and mobilization work.

Concluding the conference, Comrade Quach Tat Liem - Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee emphasized the particularly important role of transport infrastructure in the local socio-economic development strategy, especially in the context of the province's recent merger. He said that in the past, the incomplete organization of the apparatus in the process of implementing the 2-level government model had somewhat affected and disrupted the progress of a number of transport projects.

To overcome this situation, comrade Quach Tat Liem assigned specific tasks to units and localities. Accordingly, the Phu Tho Regional Land Fund Development Center continues to undertake the site clearance work for projects in the area. In particular, the resettlement areas will be directly implemented by the communes. In the Vinh Phuc area, the communes continue to carry out the site clearance task. For projects that go through many areas, the policy is to assign the Land Fund Development Center to undertake, ensuring consistency and synchronization.

Representatives of commune authorities expressed their opinions at the conference.

The Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee requested departments, branches, investors and local authorities to coordinate closely and promptly remove difficulties and obstacles, especially in land valuation. Communes and wards need to synthesize and propose funding for detailed land valuation in the area. For resettlement areas with 1/500 scale planning, the Department of Construction needs to promptly guide and give opinions to speed up progress. Compensation for site clearance must be carefully reviewed and comply with legal regulations.

In addition, Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Quach Tat Liem requested to speed up the determination of resettlement land prices, complete procedures for converting land use purposes, especially rice fields and forest lands to implement resettlement area construction. Support policies for land acquisition and clearance must be strict, transparent, legal and on time. At the same time, strictly check cases of land use violations and illegal planning.

The Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee also assigned the two Management Boards to summarize the situation of land shortage of each project, propose plans for land exploitation locations, clearly identify procedural problems, and then advise on timely solutions to ensure that traffic projects are implemented on schedule, with quality and efficiency.
