In directing the site clearance work, Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Vo Van Hung requested Gio Linh district and Dong Ha city to step up propaganda work, mobilize households to support the project, comply with the law, and promptly hand over the site.

In addition, actively coordinate with relevant departments and agencies to review legal regulations, especially the compensation and support policies recently issued by the Provincial People's Committee and new land law regulations to support in the most beneficial way for people but must ensure regulations.

At the same time, speed up the construction of resettlement areas to help people settle down, paying attention to ensuring that the new place of residence is better than the old place. Focus on flexibly applying legal regulations so that people clearly understand the policies and laws that always aim for the interests of the people.

Local support policies must be implemented consistently not only for this project but also for other projects. Only then can there be consistency in site clearance work, speeding up the construction progress of projects.
