Phu Binh IP covers a total area of 675 ha, of which Phase 1 in Phu Binh Commune covers 11.7 ha, affecting 141 households. The relevant agencies have completed asset enumeration for all households within the land acquisition area; four rounds of compensation, support, and resettlement plans have been approved for 130 households, totaling over VND 70.6 billion. Of this, over VND 61.2 billion has been disbursed to 127 households. Households that have received compensation payments are moving swiftly to demolish their houses, structures, and relocate their assets. Resettlement arrangements have been made in a timely manner; 18 eligible households and individuals have been allocated resettlement plots, receiving 41 plots with a total area of approximately 0.48 ha. The competent authority has approved resettlement plans for 14 households, covering 30 plots with a total area of 0.43 ha. Phu Binh Commune is currently coordinating with Zone IV Land Development Center to complete the required documentation and procedures so as to hand over the site to the project developer at the earliest opportunity.

However, a number of difficulties remain in the implementation of these projects, including: some households have not yet agreed to the compensation and support plans; inheritance division procedures have not been completed; discrepancies in land area conversion and compensation land prices remain unresolved; and resettlement arrangements have not yet fully met the needs of households whose residential land is being acquired. These factors are affecting the progress of site handover to the project developers.

Following the on-site inspection, Comrade Duong Van Luong, Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee, emphasized that Yen Binh 2 IP and Phu Binh IP are key projects of significant importance in attracting investment, developing industry, and driving the province's economic growth. As such, local authorities must continue to focus intensively on site clearance, mobilizing the entire political system, and stepping up communications and advocacy efforts so that residents understand, support, and comply with the Party and State's policies. In addition, they must closely coordinate with provincial departments, agencies, units, and project developers to swiftly review and resolve related difficulties and obstacles; accelerate the construction of resettlement areas to ensure conditions for residents to stabilize their lives at the earliest opportunity. In cases where residents persist in non-compliance after being fully informed and persuaded through outreach, and having their lawful entitlements fully settled, the prescribed procedural steps must be taken. Local police forces must proactively monitor ground conditions, maintain a constant presence in the area, and closely coordinate with local authorities to ensure public order and security throughout the implementation of site clearance work.
