(HBO) – Vice Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of the People’s Committee of Hoa Binh province Nguyen Van Quang has chaired a teleconference on site clearance and settlement of complaints relating to land seizure, site clearance and resettlement support in the locality.
Chairman
of the provincial People’s Committee Nguyen Van Quang speaks at the conference.
Since 2014, Hoa Binh province has finished
compensation and site clearance for 289 projects covering 549.4ha of land.
About 818.66 billion VND (over 36 million USD) has been spent on compensating
and assisting 12,099 households whose land revoked to resettle. Site clearance
is being conducted for about 60 projects across the province, expecting to
withdraw around 310.6ha of land.
Provincial authorities have directed sectors and
local administrations to handle obstacles in compensating owners of seized land
and site clearance in key and complicated projects such as Hoa Lac – Hoa Binh
road and Road No. 21 traversing Kim Boi and Lac Thuy districts. However, the
progress of site clearance for some projects remains sluggish.
Since 2014, the boards for citizen reception at
all levels have met 1,677 delegations with 2,745 people who came to submit
complaints, denunciations and opinions about 1,898 cases, 1,229 cases of which
related to land management, compensation for seized land, and support during
land seizure. The boards handled 1,953 petitions of all kinds, including 1,444
ones relevant to land and site clearance.
Concluding the meeting, Chairman of the
provincial People’s Committee Nguyen Van Quang stressed that the smooth
implementation of site clearance will help reduce complaints and denunciations
while attracting investment and boosting socio-economic development.
To solve bottlenecks and shortcomings in site
clearance and complaint settlement, it is necessary to improve the leadership
capacity of Party committees and administrations and bring into play the role
of organisations in raising local residents’ awareness of law observance.
Quang underlined the need to promote advisory
bodies’ capacity to serve the issuance of compensation and resettlement support
regulations, enhance coordination in site clearance among authorized agencies
and localities, and thoroughly deal with related problems, especially in key
projects.
He also asked for transparent land planning,
land seizure and compensation, along with examination and strict punishment of
violators or persons inciting others to violate regulations./.
When requesting personal document verification and certification service at the one-stop-shop service section of Dong Tam Commune in Lac Thuy district, Nguyen Thanh Long, a resident of Dong Bong village, was both surprised and pleased with the professionalism and attitude of civil servants working there.
Hoa Binh province has harnessed its rich cultural heritage and human potential to forge the path towards sustainable development in the new era.
In Hoa Binh province, 11 traditional craft villages with more than 400 small-scaled production households have put in place a clean and green production model, establishing new standards for sustainable development. Waste collection sites and wastewater treatment facilities have been meticulously managed by local residents.
To make it easier for the residents to handle administrative procedures, Yen Bong Commune (Lac Thuy District) has identified the administrative reform as one of its key tasks. By implementing a range of synchronized solutions, the commune has seen the positive changes in the administrative reform, meeting the needs of its people.
Mai Chau district has firmly established itself as a standout destination on Vietnam’s tourism map, attracting both domestic and international visitors with its breathtaking landscapes, rich ethnic culture, and warm hospitality. However, beyond its natural and cultural charm, a secure and well-managed tourism environment has added to Mai Chau’s appeal.
As Vietnam enters a new phase of economic and administrative reform in 2025, Hoa Binh province is stepping up its efforts to streamline governance, boost economic growth, and attract investment.
