On the morning of November 21, the People's Committee of Binh Chanh District, Ho Chi Minh City held a conference on compensation, support, and resettlement for public investment projects in the area. In the 2020-2023 period, Binh Chanh District was assigned 3,086 billion VND of public investment capital, of which 2,986 billion VND has been disbursed. In 2023 alone, Binh Chanh District was assigned 655 billion VND, of which 70% has been disbursed as of November 20.

Mr. Nguyen The Minh, Deputy Head of the Compensation and Site Clearance Board of Binh Chanh District, said that compensation and site clearance in the locality have achieved many positive results. Hundreds of projects and works such as roads, administrative headquarters, cultural and social works, and industrial parks have been established and put into use.

Mr. Minh said that the locality has completed compensation and handed over the land of 17 projects to investors and is continuing to implement 110 other projects. Among them, there are many key projects of the city such as the City Children's Hospital, Tan Kien medical cluster, Ben Luc - Long Thanh expressway, Ring Road 3, and industrial parks in the area. The project to expand National Highway 50 and Ring Road 3 alone has achieved a land recovery rate of over 90%.

In 2023, the locality will continue to propose establishing working groups to mobilize people to sign documents to receive money and hand over land for 12 urgent and key projects in the area.

Mr. Tran Van Nam, Secretary of Binh Chanh District Party Committee, emphasized that compensation and site clearance are prerequisites for public investment disbursement, so it is necessary to focus on synchronous solutions.

"Put yourself in the shoes of the people, from resolving real estate records to compensation and site clearance. For many people, a few hundred million or a few billion VND may not be too much, but for the poor, if they do not receive timely compensation and support or if the settlement is not thorough, it will make their lives more miserable," Mr. Nam acknowledged.

The Secretary of Binh Chanh also requested the district authorities and investors to speed up the project's construction progress, put the project into operation soon, worthy of the affection of local people.

On this occasion, the People's Committee of Binh Chanh District awarded certificates of merit to 39 groups, 136 individuals and 25 households with good achievements in compensation, support and resettlement of projects in the area.
