Observations by PV on July 9 revealed a slow and perfunctory restoration of the land by the investor, who had filled in a lake on green space in Zone B3.1 of the Thanh Ha Cienco 5 Urban Area in Cu Khe Commune, Thanh Oai District, Hanoi. Only one excavator was observed conducting land filling operations.
Despite having exceeded the deadline set by the People’s Committee of Cu Khe Commune (completed before June 15), the investor has only managed to fill a small area, leaving behind deep pits on a large scale, posing potential safety hazards.
The investor’s slow progress in restoring the land by filling the lake that was dug without proper planning.
Speaking to Tien Phong, Mr. Vu Quoc Tri, Vice Chairman of the People’s Committee of Cu Khe Commune, Thanh Oai District, stated that the investor of the Thanh Ha Cienco 5 Urban Area is in the process of filling the previously dug lake to make way for green space in accordance with the approved planning. The local authorities are urging the investor to expedite the process and ensure that the entire lake area in Zone B3.1 is restored according to the approved planning.
Meanwhile, the leadership of the Urban Management Division of Thanh Oai District stated that they will advise the People’s Committee of the district to request the investor to continue filling the lake area in Zone B3.1.
A single excavator is working to fill in the lake area of approximately 9,000 square meters in Zone B3.1.
As previously reported by Tien Phong, residents of the Thanh Ha A and B – Cienco 5 Urban Area had complained that in Zone B3.1 of the urban area, which falls under the jurisdiction of Cu Khe Commune, Thanh Oai District, Hanoi, the investor, Cienco 5 Land Development Joint Stock Company, had excavated land designated for green space and dug a lake that was not part of the planning. Moreover, the sand extracted from the lake was loaded onto trucks and transported out of the construction site.
Regarding this issue, the People’s Committee of Cu Khe Commune stated that in April 2024, they inspected and discovered that the investor of the Thanh Ha Cienco 5 project was constructing and digging a lake in Zone B3.1, which is designated as green space in the planning. On April 5, the Commune People’s Committee issued Document No. 97 requesting the investor to temporarily suspend the construction. However, the investor continued with the construction and lake excavation despite the “red card” from the Commune People’s Committee.
On June 7, the People’s Committee of Cu Khe Commune sent another document to Cienco 5 Land Development Joint Stock Company regarding the remediation of the lake excavation in Zone B3.1. Upon inspection, it was found that the investor had excavated a lake with an area of approximately 9,000 square meters. The lake was about 2 meters deep compared to the original ground level, and the company had erected stakes and ropes around the lake and was in the process of planting trees.
The investor excavated a lake with an area of approximately 9,000 square meters, with a depth of about 2 meters compared to the original ground level, in Zone B3.1, which is designated as green space in the planning.
“To ensure that the project is implemented in accordance with the approved planning, the People’s Committee of Cu Khe Commune requests the investor to stop construction and urgently remediate the entire lake area in Zone B3.1 according to the approved planning. The deadline for completion is before June 15, 2024,” the document from the People’s Committee of Cu Khe Commune stated.
