Attending the conference were Comrade Nguyen Duc Dung — Member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Party Committee of Hoa Binh ward; alongside leadership representatives from several departments, sectors, and Hoa Binh and Thong Nhat wards.

At the conference, the Vice Chairman heard reports from departments and sectors regarding the implementation status of projects including: Road connecting Tran Hung Dao Street to Dan Chu ward connecting with National Highway 6; Transport and irrigation connectivity project of former Hoa Binh province with the national transport infrastructure system utilizing South Korean ODA loans; and Road connecting QH8 Street with An Duong Vuong Street in former Hoa Binh city.

The road connecting Tran Hung Dao Street to Dan Chu ward connecting with National Highway 6 spans approximately 4.36 km in length, with a land recovery area of about 21.7 hectares affecting 340 households.

To date, compensation payments have been disbursed to 261 households, handing over 18.2 hectares of land, equivalent to approximately 3.56 km of the route. Several locations face lingering obstacles in determining compensation, support, and resettlement plans; while fill soil extraction, transportation, and construction material supply sources also impact construction progress.

Regarding the Transport and irrigation connectivity project of Hoa Binh province with the national transport infrastructure system utilizing South Korean ODA loans, the site clearance area reached 8.92 out of 76.7 hectares, equivalent to 11.72%.

Numerous cases have not completed compensation disbursements or verification of land origins, assets, and compensation eligibility. Furthermore, construction bidding documents have been submitted to the sponsor for review 3 times, impacting project deployment and capital disbursement plans.

The road connecting QH8 Street with An Duong Vuong Street carries a total route length of approximately 2.023 km, with about 1.8 km of site handed over and approximately 200 m remaining unhanded. Compensation plan finalization for remaining households requires continued acceleration. Construction volume reached 24.3% of contract value, which has not met progress demands.

Delivering concluding remarks at the conference, Vice Chairman Quach Tat Liem directed departments, sectors, localities, and relevant units to focus coordinated efforts on resolving site clearance bottlenecks; reviewing each specific case to clarify delay causes and individual agency/unit responsibilities during implementation.

Handling must guarantee compliance with legal regulations, harmonizing the legitimate rights and interests of citizens while fulfilling project schedule requirements.

Overview of the conference.

The Vice Chairman requested local authorities to proactively coordinate land origin verifications, completing documentation and compensation, support, and resettlement plans; stepping up propaganda, mobilization, and dialogue with residents to build consensus in handing over sites.

For matters exceeding authority, promptly synthesize, report, and propose handling solutions, avoiding passing responsibilities or allowing obstacles to linger. Contractors must mobilize maximum manpower and machinery, taking advantage of favorable weather to accelerate construction while guaranteeing work quality, occupational safety, and environmental sanitation.
