As of May 26, the People’s Committees of Bac Yen and Muong La districts have approved compensation and support plans for 745 of 1,375 households and six of eight organisations. Compensation plans remain pending for 630 households and two organisations—471 households in Bac Yen and 159 in Muong La.

Current land clearance challenges primarily stem from issues related to land use right certificates.

Minh urged Muong La district to coordinate with relevant departments to identify land origins, promote public consensus on land clearance, and have the provincial Land Development Centre develop and submit compensation plans for approval.

He also called on the investor to strengthen oversight of contractors, ensuring they gather manpower and machinery to meet construction deadlines.
