As Dai Doan Ket Newspaper reported in the article “The project of Thai Nguyen University is slow to implement, people are worried” related to the planning of the project to build Thai Nguyen University of Medicine and Pharmacy (under Thai Nguyen University). This is a project that was approved by the Thai Nguyen Provincial People's Committee in 2011, but after 13 years it has not been implemented yet.

That is also the reason why nearly 20 hectares of "golden land" located next to Bac Son Street, bordering Tan Thinh and Quang Trung wards, are abandoned and overgrown with weeds, meaning that the land, worth hundreds of billions of dong, is lying idle and wasted. Because they are not allowed to build houses, solid structures, or invest in production and business development, hundreds of households with land in the "suspended" planning area have a difficult life, living temporarily on their own land.

“

According to the land price list for the period 2020 - 2024 issued by the People's Committee of Thai Nguyen province in Decision 46/2019/QD-UBND, the land on Bac Son road connecting from Z115 road to Viet Bac road is valued at 10 million VND/m2; The actual transactions of people in the market are not lower than 35 million VND/m2 of land on the road, and more than 18 million VND/m2 of land lots 2 and 3 of this road section. Therefore, the "suspended" planning land of nearly 200,000m2 will have a very large value.

Reporters of Dai Doan Ket Newspaper had a working session with the People's Committee of Thai Nguyen City to clarify how to handle the above-mentioned "suspended" planning. Vice Chairman of the City People's Committee Nguyen Van Tue informed: On December 20, 2023, the city had a working session with Thai Nguyen University regarding the implementation of the project to build Thai Nguyen University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Campus 2 and the implementation roadmap. However, Thai Nguyen University has to depend on funding from the Ministry of Education and Training, so the implementation of the project is difficult.

According to Mr. Tue, implementing the direction of the Chairman of the Thai Nguyen Provincial People's Committee according to Official Dispatch No. 26 (dated January 4, 2024) and Official Dispatch No. 284 (dated January 18, 2024), the Thai Nguyen City People's Committee has assigned the task to specialized agencies to inspect all land use plans, including land use plans of member universities of Thai Nguyen University. This is to eliminate suspended plans, plans that are no longer suitable, negatively affecting the overall development of the city and affecting people's lives.

Mr. Nguyen Minh Tuan, Head of Urban Management Department, Thai Nguyen City, affirmed that Thai Nguyen University has been approved for the Planning to implement the Project to build Thai Nguyen University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Campus 2, for 13 years now. The Investor has not yet established a detailed planning, has not established a project, has not conducted procedures for land allocation, land lease and site clearance, which means nothing more has been done. Due to planning problems, in recent years, Thai Nguyen City has only been able to issue temporary construction permits to local residents for housing, and a large area of ​​land (nearly 20 hectares) is in a state of abandonment, with no other cultivation or production.

Mr. Tuan said that currently, the Urban Management Department of Thai Nguyen City is coordinating with the Department of Natural Resources and Environment, the People's Committees of wards and communes in the area, and related units to inspect and review land use project plans, including land use plans of Thai Nguyen University. If the plans are no longer suitable, negatively affecting the environment, urban aesthetics, etc., there will be a plan to adjust the planning and report to the competent authority for consideration and decision. Based on the Law on Urban Planning and the Law on Construction, for projects with a general plan of 5 years, a detailed plan of 3 years that are not feasible and not implemented, the planning can be considered to be canceled to ensure people's lives.
