In his remarks at the event, Secretary Nghia frankly pointed out several shortcomings in the site clearance work for local projects over the past time.

He also urged relevant agencies to enhance the State management on land, especially vacant land, in order to prevent local residents from encroaching public land to claim compensation.

He added the focus should be on strengthening the machinery of government responsible for site clearance at grass-roots level in a bid to accelerate the site clearance work and avoid leaving land unused.

The Party chief stressed the need for functional bodies to ensure democracy and transparency during the site clearance work, as well as bring legitimate benefits to local residents.

Mr Nghia emphasised top priority should be given to speeding up the site clearance for key projects, as well as adjusting compensation unit price in accordance with the national regulations.
