(HBO) - Chairman of the Hoa Binh People's Committee Nguyen Van Quang chaired a meeting to discuss solutions to manage markers of the safety corridor of Hoa Lac-Hoa Binh highway. Participating in the meeting were Vice Chairman of the provincial People's Committee Bui Van Khanh; representatives of the Vietnam Road Administration under the Ministry of Transport, departments and agencies; leaders of villages and hamlets along the highway as well as Ky Son district, Hoa Binh city and investors of Hoa Lac-Hoa Binh highway.


Chairman of Hoa Binh People’s Committee Nguyen Van Quang concludes the meeting.

The Hoa Lac - Hoa Binh road has a total length of 25.69km. The section passing Hoa Binh province is 19.32km long, which has been opened but has not yet been checked and taken over. However, the protection of transport infrastructure has faced many difficulties. In particular, many local households encroached on the land already cleared to serve as the highway’s safety corridor, while the management of planning markers of Hoa Lac-Hoa Binh highway has not been implemented. There is also a lack of legal basis to define responsibilities of agencies and units in the management of land inside the boundary of the Hoa Lac-Hoa Binh highway.

Speaking at the meeting, Chairman of the provincial People's Committee Nguyen Van Quang said that localities are already aware of the importance of the highway and its management requirements. He requested the office of the provincial People's Committee and advisory agencies to promptly build management regulations based on existing laws and the real situation at the site, thus ensuring the regulations’ feasibility and effectiveness. Investors should restore the road’s markers in January 2019, and hand over to local authorities for management.

He also urged strengthening the management of the current road corridor and the boundary markers of Hoa Lac-Hoa Binh highway, adding that the status quo of land use must be maintained while the change of land use purposes should be limited.

It is necessary to review legal grounds for managing the planning of Hoa Lac-Hoa Binh highway, he said, asking the provincial Department of Transport to soon issue brief and simple-to-understand regulations on the management of Hoa Lac-Hoa Binh highway corridor to serve communication purpose.

Chairman of the provincial People's Committee emphasized that the heads of local governments are responsible for the management of the Hoa Lac-Hoa Binh highway corridor./.
