Lam Dong speeds up construction of 8 resettlement areas to serve the North-South high-speed railway project

The North-South high-speed railway project through Lam Dong province is 156.5 km long, including 2 stations and 4 maintenance stations.

To serve this project, 8 resettlement areas have been identified and are being built in 8 communes and wards.

According to a report from the Department of Construction, resettlement projects are at different stages, with significant progress.

Despite significant progress, according to reports from departments and localities at the working session, these resettlement projects still face a number of problems related to planning, compensation, etc.

Many areas are not in line with current planning, requiring adjustments and environmental records. Procedures related to planning, design and contractor selection still need to be resolved.

To solve these problems, Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Nguyen Hong Hai directed relevant departments, branches and sectors to focus on reviewing and guiding Project Management Board 2 and other localities.

Accordingly, comrade Nguyen Hong Hai directed the Department of Construction to coordinate with the Department of Finance, the Department of Agriculture and Environment to review and proactively discuss with the Ministry of Construction , the Railway Board to receive guidance and have documents guiding localities on land use planning and construction planning; review the list of rice land use.

The Department of Finance consults and synthesizes investment funds for 8 resettlement areas, and has a document requesting the Central Government to arrange funds. The province will advance capital in advance to keep up with progress.

Vice Chairman of Lam Dong Provincial People's Committee Nguyen Hong Hai emphasized: "Currently, the location for the resettlement area has been determined. Localities need to do a good job of land management, not allowing people to intentionally plant trees or use land to take advantage of site clearance work.

At the same time, carry out tasks related to site clearance such as holding meetings with people, organizing information and mobilizing people in advance, so that when land acquisition for the project is carried out, it will go smoothly.
