(HBO) – The provincial People’s Committee held a working session on February 24 to assess the compensation work, site clearance and the implementation of transport projects invested by the local Department of Transport and the management board of transport projects.
Quach Tat Liem, Vice Chairman of the
provincial People’s Committee, speaks at the working session
Many transport projects are under construction
in Hoa Binh province, connecting regions and industrial parks. They, therefore,
have played a significant role in spurring local socio-economic development,
and attracting investments in the province.
They include the Hoa Lac-Hoa Binh road, Hoa Binh
2 bridge, the road linking National Highway 6 and Chi Lang street in Hoa Binh
city, projects upgrading provincial roads 435, 433, 438B, and 431, and the road
running from Lac Son to Tan Lac districts.
Besides, the Department of Transport and the
management board of transport projects are about pour investments in other
major projects like the second phase of the Hoa Lac-Hoa Binh road, the road
from Tran Hung Dao to Dan Chu street and National Highway 6, the Quang
Tien-Thinh Minh road in Hoa Binh city, the road from National Highway 6 to
National Highway 12B through Doc Lap and Du Sang communes, and the one linking
Luong Son and Xuan Mai towns.
However, investors and the provincial People’s
Committee reported that the implementation of certain projects has been
hindered by obstacles in land clearance, resettlement and mountainous terrain.
Some others face difficulties in investment
capital, mechanisms, policies and compensation, and have not received the
support of local residents.
In his remarks, Liem said transport makes up 70
percent of projects in Hoa Binh province, and urged the sector to take more
drastic actions in this regard.
Pointing out a large number of pending projects,
mainly due to planning, the official said due attention should be paid to the
planning work and reports on those projects need to be sent to local
authorities as soon as possible.
He also urged the sector to better the road and
waterway planning work, especially the planning of seaports.
Hoa Binh has more than 20 projects included the
mid-term investment plan for 2021-2026, Liem said, adding that investors should
promptly complete relevant procedures before May 31 in order to allocate the
investment capital in a timely manner.
He also suggested the management board of
transport projects consider building coordination mechanisms and set schedules
for each project.
Meanwhile, the local transport sector was asked
to provide consultations regarding the implementation of transport projects in
line with the PM’s instructions./.
