Through mass mobilization work, consensus was created among people, creating favorable conditions in site clearance.

With many flexible solutions, drastic spirit plus the timely involvement of the entire political system, TDM city was considered as the first locality to complete compensation payment and handover 100% of the site of the National Highway 13 project. As for the belt road 3 project, the city was also the first locality in the province to organize compensation payments and support for affected households.

Listening to people's opinions

Huynh Van Thanh, Head of TDM city’s Mass Mobilization Committee, Chairman of the city’s Fatherland Front Committee said that in order to achieve the above results, the entire political system closely coordinated in the process of implementing land recovery. In places where the projects passed, the local authorities organized many meetings with people by many forms.

In addition, the city organized delegations to directly mobilize people, convincing them to agree to hand over their land; arranged professional staff to receive citizens at the agency's headquarters; removed each obstacle in resolving documents in an open, transparent and democratic manner...

In fact, when carrying out site clearance, works and projects often arise many complex problems, affecting the construction progress. The reasons include difficulties regarding compensation, support and resettlement prices, leading to complaints, along with the awareness of a part of the people in implementing policies on land recovery, compensation and site clearance...

From the above mentioned situation, Mr. Thanh also shared some experience in the work of "Skillful mass mobilization" to meet requirements and tasks of site clearance work. For example, local authorities always have the spirit of listening to what people say; learn about each specific situation; promptly resolve some shortcomings and inadequacies in the process of implementing compensation, support and resettlement, ensuring maximum benefits for people while proposing and recommending competent agencies to resolve people’s legitimate aspirations and petitions; promptly adjusts and supplements a number of regimes and policies from reality.
