Attending the conference were Standing Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Chairwoman of the Provincial People's Council Huynh Thi Chien Hoa; Standing Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Council Tran Phu Hung; Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Nguyen Thien Van; representatives of departments, branches and localities.

According to incomplete statistics from localities and forest owners, the area of ​​forestry land originating from state-owned forestry farms illegally encroached upon and occupied by people is about 127,770 hectares, at different times and in different situations.

Up to now, the district People's Committee has only processed and recovered about 1,460 hectares. The processing and recovery of encroached and occupied forestry land in localities in the province in recent times has encountered many difficulties and obstacles.

Standing Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Chairwoman of the Provincial People's Council Huynh Thi Chien Hoa awarded Certificates of Merit from the Provincial People's Committee to collectives with outstanding and outstanding achievements in advising and resolving land encroachment cases in Sub-zone 267 and Sub-zone 268 (Ea Bung commune, Ea Sup district).

To restore order in the management and use of forestry land in the province, the Provincial Party Committee has led and directed the Provincial People's Committee to gradually organize the recovery of encroached forestry land in the province. Accordingly, the Provincial People's Committee has directed the Provincial People's Committee to select Ea Sup and Ea H'leo districts to pilot the recovery of encroached and occupied forestry land. On that basis, summarize and draw experiences to widely deploy in the province.

As a result, the Ea Sup District People's Committee organized propaganda, mobilized and persuaded people to return more than 1,364 hectares of encroached and occupied forest land without having to organize enforcement to implement remedial measures. In particular, in Sub-zone 267 and Sub-zone 268 (Ea Bung commune), 100% of households that occupied land voluntarily returned the land, with an area of ​​more than 622 hectares (equal to 111% of the planned recovered area).

In order to recover illegally encroached and occupied forest land throughout the province, the Provincial People's Committee has issued Plan No. 188/KH-UBND, dated October 24, 2024 on handling and recovering illegally encroached and occupied forest land in Dak Lak province. Accordingly, the Provincial People's Committee assigns responsibility to the People's Committees of districts, towns and cities to organize the dissemination of the province's policy on handling and recovering illegally encroached and occupied forest land and develop a plan to organize the handling and recovery of illegally encroached and occupied forest land in the management area.

Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Nguyen Thien Van spoke at the conference.

Specifically, in the fourth quarter of 2024, the People's Committees of districts, towns and cities will organize the dissemination of the province's policy on handling and recovering encroached and occupied forestry land; establish steering committees, support teams of the district-level steering committees and commune-level working groups.

In the first quarter of 2025, the commune-level working group will complete the field inspection, review and classify subjects and report to the district-level steering committee on cases of land encroachment and occupation in the management area.

In the second quarter of 2025, the district-level steering committee will complete the review and notification of encroachment and occupation cases that are eligible and ineligible for land use right certificates according to the provisions of Article 139 of the 2024 Land Law.

From the third quarter to the fourth quarter of 2025, the commune-level working group will handle administrative violations according to the provisions of law; enforce the recovery of encroached land, striving to recover 30% of the encroached land area.

From the first quarter of 2026 to the second quarter of 2026, 30% of the encroached land area will continue to be recovered. From the third quarter of 2026 to the fourth quarter of 2026, the remaining encroached forestry land area will be recovered.

Concluding the conference, Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Nguyen Thien Van emphasized that the work of reclaiming encroached and occupied forestry land in Sub-zone 267 and Sub-zone 268 (Ea Bung commune, Ea Sup district) exceeded the plan without having to organize enforcement thanks to the attention, leadership and drastic direction of the Provincial Party Standing Committee, the determination to focus and direct the Provincial People's Committee, and the participation of the entire political system from the province to the commune.

The successful handling and recovery of more than 622 hectares of encroached and occupied forest land will have a strong impact, creating a premise for continuing to recover encroached and occupied land in other areas of Ea Sup district in particular and the whole province in general.

The Provincial People's Committee requests departments, branches, localities and forest owners to continue to strengthen the fight, prevention, suppression, handling of violations and ensuring compliance with the law in the field of land; resolutely and synchronously implement solutions to handle and recover encroached and occupied forest land areas.

Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Nguyen Thien Van awarded Certificates of Merit from the Provincial People's Committee to individuals with outstanding achievements in consulting and recovering encroached and occupied forestry land in Sub-zone 267 and Sub-zone 268 (Ea Bung commune, Ea Sup district).

Specifically, functional agencies and local authorities organize propaganda, dissemination, and thorough implementation of the province's policy on handling and recovering all illegally encroached and occupied forest land; strengthen and fully implement the responsibility of state management of land and forestry, in which the management and protection of forests and forest land in the area is identified as an important and regular political task to focus on leadership and direction of implementation.

Inspect, rectify and strictly handle cases of illegal construction on forestry land; propagate, mobilize and persuade people to understand and strictly comply with the State's policies and laws on forestry and land, encourage people to voluntarily return encroached and occupied forestry land, and limit the implementation of compulsory recovery measures.

Inspect and examine the use of forestry land for agricultural and forestry projects leased by organizations and individuals and promptly handle violations of land laws; strengthen forest protection and management, promptly detect violations and coordinate well with competent authorities to handle violators.

For forest owners, continue to coordinate with local authorities in managing, handling, and reclaiming forest land encroached upon by people; proactively patrol, inspect, protect forests at the root, and protect forests in border areas.

On this occasion, the Provincial People's Committee awarded Certificates of Merit to 5 collectives and 22 individuals with outstanding and outstanding achievements in advising and resolving land encroachment and occupation cases in Sub-areas 267 and 268 (Ea Bung commune, Ea Sup district); awarded Certificates of Merit to 8 individuals with outstanding achievements in recovering encroached and occupied forestry land in the above two sub-areas.
