Vice Chairman of the provincial People's Committee Dang Ngoc Hau speaks at the meeting.

In his concluding remarks, Hau urged all units and local authorities to focus intensively on accelerating the site clearance, aiming to hand over land to the project investor by October 30.

He asked the Department of Agriculture and Environment to direct the Forest Protection Department to supervise and expedite the relocation of trees and assets according to approved plans.

The Department of Construction is to monitor and report daily progress at the resettlement sites and advise the People’s Committee to issue official directives urging contractors to stay on schedule.

The Department of Finance will continue to guide the Project Management Unit on asset auction procedures, while the Land Fund Development Centre is to promptly address concerns from relevant units and ensure compensation rates are applied correctly in accordance with regulations, safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of affected residents.
