At a recent meeting with the Dong Nai government on the site clearance progress of the big-ticket project, Tuan said the ministry would coordinate with the local authorities to speed up site clearance and develop traffic, water and electricity systems, Lao Dong newspaper reported.
According to the Dong Nai Department of Natural Resources and Environment, up to 358 out of 364 hectares of rubber farms, where two resettlement areas will be built, are under the management of Dong Nai Rubber Corporation.
By July 30, the corporation had completed cutting down the rubber trees and had cleared land. The provincial Land Fund Development Center has compensated for half the value of Dong Nai Rubber Corporation’s rubber farm land in line with the provincial government’s approval.
Dong Nai Rubber Corporation will hand over the sites to develop the two resettlement areas this month.
Dong Nai Vice Chairman Tran Van Vinh said that the province is committed to developing infrastructure in the resettlement areas this year so that residents can move there next year. The province will also complete the compensation for rubber farms this year.
