(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./.
With the motto of "polite, dedicated, professional, and lawful,” over the years, Phu Cuong commune in Tan Lac district has gradually improved the quality of processing administrative procedures, winning high satisfaction from local people and businesses.
Stretching over 300 meters, valued at hundreds of million dong and built to the new-style rural standards, a concrete road in De hamlet, Bac Phong commune, Cao Phong district, was completed by the end of 2023 thanks to the collective contributions of armed forces at provincial and district levels coupled with the active participation of military units stationed throughout the district.
Over the years, the People’s Committee of Lac Thuy district has issued many plans and programmes to speed up the administrative reform, aiming to better serve local people and businesses.
Kim Boi district is drafting 23 planning projects which are expected to help boost the local socio-economic development, attract investors, and mobilise resources for development, said Vice chairman of the district People’s Committee Tran Tuan Son.
They include the one on Bo urban area development until 2045, 20 zoning, and 12 on rural residential areas in communes.
This year, Hoa Binh province strives to have eight communes recognised as meeting new-style rural area standards and five communes satisfying exemplary new-style rural area standards. Since the beginning of the year, the provincial People's Committee has drastically directed the implementation of the national target programme on new-style rural area building to fulfil the set target.
Cao Phong district achieved positive socio-economic development results last year as drastic comprehensive measures were implemented with high determination of its whole political system, said the Secretary of the district Party Committee Ha Van Di.
