District 3 presents decisions on land reclamation and compensation plan for households affected by land reclamation at the Metro project.
District 3 has obtained opinions on 108 out of 112 land reclamation cases (14 organizations and 94 households). As for the remaining 4 exceptional cases with complications, opinions from relevant departments are being collected and requested, thus they have not yet been evaluated.
Out of the 112 cases, 74 cases (14 organizations and 60 households) agreed with the draft Compensation, Support, and Resettlement Plan.
12 households disagreed with the draft Compensation, Support, and Resettlement Plan. 22 households had different opinions on the draft Compensation, Support, and Resettlement Plan.
The main objections were mainly about the current land compensation price, which is lower than the market price, and they request the compensation price to be 350,000,000 VND/sqm. In addition, the price appraisal should have opinions from residents to ensure fairness and transparency…
