Hanoi Mayor Demands Quick Settlement of Group Complaint Cases

by KTT, April 28, 2017

Chairman Nguyen Duc Chung of Hanoi People’s Committee has asked heads of district and town People’s Committees to quicken the settlement of denouncement and complaint, especially group complaint cases.

Directors of Department of Natural Resources and Environment, Department of Construction, Department of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs, and Department of Planning and Architect need to review the cases and update the process to the municipal government before May 5.

Local authorities are required to focus on complaint cases relating to land, site clearance and resettlement of real estate projects, residential tower management, and construction management.

Mr. Chung also asked heads of town and district People’s Committees to attend dialogues with citizens to solve the cases in accordance with laws.

According to state media, local authorities must report complicated cases to the municipal government before they plan to make any land coercion, withdrawal, and site clearance.

Hanoi made the request after land disputes in Dong Tam commune of My Duc district earlier this month caused public indignation and prompted the intervention of the city’s senior leaders.
