The Provincial Road 830E project, section from the Ho Chi Minh City-Trung Luong Expressway interchange, has currently paid 819/878 households with a total amount of more than 1,480 billion VND, reaching 90.47% and nearly 96% in terms of area

Many positive results

According to the Department of Agriculture and Environment, compensation and site clearance work in the province meets the need for land acquisition to serve socio-economic development.

Before the merger, Long An province issued Plan No. 1444 on the implementation of compensation, site clearance and resettlement work in the province in 2025 with the target of ​​1,050 hectares, striving to reach 1,450 hectares to attract investment. Of which, 9 projects and works need to focus on resolving difficulties, obstacles, and long-standing problems, and 20 projects and works need to focus on implementation.

In addition, the Department proactively advised the Provincial People's Committee to review, issue new, amend, and supplement legal documents under its authority related to compensation, site clearance, and resettlement in Tay Ninh province.

Since the beginning of 2025, in Long An province before the merger, nearly 987 hectares have been paid, reaching 93.97% of the plan; in Tay Ninh province before the merger, more than 530 hectares have been paid.

Of which, for key projects such as the Ring Road and Bridge project across the Vam Co Tay River, compensation and support were paid to 1,648/1,701 households, reaching 96.9%; Provincial Road 830E project, section from the Ho Chi Minh City - Trung Luong Expressway intersection, paid 819/878 households with a total amount of more than 1,480 billion VND, reaching 90.47% and nearly 96% in terms of area; Provincial Road 822B project paid 195 households and 3 organizations/200 households and 3 organizations; Ho Chi Minh City Ring Road 3 project paid 412/414 households, reaching 99.5%, 100% of the site was handed over to the construction unit; The investment project to build bridges and access roads to 3 bridges on Provincial Road 827E through 7 communes has paid 691 households, an area of ​​nearly 52 hectares with a total amount of more than 713 billion VND.

In addition, the Provincial People's Committee is focusing on implementing tasks for departments, branches and sectors to implement the Ho Chi Minh City Ring Road 4 project, the Thay Cai - Hiep Phuoc canal section, and is handing over site clearance piles in accordance with the planning boundary.

However, in addition to the positive results, the compensation and site clearance work still has some difficulties and problems such as: the investment in infrastructure of resettlement areas and the construction of land prices for resettlement areas are still slow, so the resettlement of people affected is not guaranteed according to regulations; the capacity of some investors is still limited; some investment projects outside the budget have not promptly arranged payment funds, causing frustration for people who have agreed to the approved compensation, support and resettlement plan, etc.

Focus on removing obstacles

Tan Tru Commune People's Committee held a dialogue with local residents to resolve difficulties and problems related to site clearance for the project to build bridges and access roads to three bridges on Provincial Road 827E

In Tan Tru Commune, the Commune People's Committee focused on propaganda and mobilization to create consensus among the people. At the same time, the commune approved the compensation and resettlement support plan when reclaiming land for 168 affected cases with a total compensation cost of more than 166 billion VND/10.37 ha.

To date, the commune has paid 161 cases with an amount of nearly 159 billion VND. According to Tan Tru Commune Party Secretary Dang Hoang Tuan, the commune has proactively coordinated closely with provincial departments and branches in implementing processes and procedures to carry out site clearance. In particular, special attention is paid to propaganda, mobilization, and answering suggestions and questions from households. Basically, households affected by the project highly agree with the compensation and resettlement support policy. Although there are still some difficulties when the project has not completed the resettlement area, the commune also mobilizes households to receive temporary housing support policies to hand over the site.

"For each specific case with difficulties and problems, we will go to each household, grasp each specific situation, especially the thoughts and wishes of the cases to mobilize as well as report to the Provincial People's Committee to soon complete the project site clearance work" - Secretary of the Tan Tru Commune Party Committee Dang Hoang Tuan said.

Similarly, in Vam Co Commune, after a period of mobilization, in early November, the commune coordinated with the Ben Luc Regional Land Fund Development Center Branch to pay the third installment to households, raising the project site clearance compensation rate to over 90%. Chairman of the People's Committee of Vam Co Commune Dang Van Tay Lo affirmed that until the end of the year, the commune will continue to organize propaganda and mobilize the remaining households to strive to complete the compensation and site clearance work for the entire project through the commune, creating favorable conditions for construction work.

According to Director of the Department of Agriculture and Environment Vo Minh Thanh, in order to effectively implement the work of compensation, site clearance, and resettlement when the State reclaims land in the province, in the coming time, the Department will continue to coordinate with departments, branches, and localities to focus on removing difficulties and obstacles related to compensation and site clearance for projects under breakthrough programs, key projects, and projects that contribute significantly to the socio-economic development of the province.

At the same time, the Department continues to advise the Provincial Party Committee to issue a Resolution on improving the efficiency of compensation, site clearance and resettlement when the State reclaims land in the province to be implemented in the period of 2026-2030 and the following years, in conjunction with reviewing, amending, supplementing and promulgating new legal documents related to compensation, support and resettlement policies when the State reclaims land to apply uniformly in the province, such as regulations on compensation, support and resettlement; regulations on land price lists; regulations on compensation for crops and architectural works.
