Nearly 170 behind-schedule projects canceled

A representative of the Department of Natural Resources and Environment of Ho Chi Minh City, on October 4, reported to the Urban Board of the People's Council of HCMC that the department had coordinated with districts to submit to the municipal People's Committee to cancel 169 projects which have not been carried out yet after more than three years of registration of the land-use plans.

The reason for the delay in implementing the land-use plans is mainly due to the dependence on the balance and arrangement of the budget and financial sources of investors to compensate and conduct the projects; compensation still faces many difficulties in terms of plans and prices; investors are still confused in completing documents to be assigned to change the land-use purpose; there are problems with legal procedures due to changes in investment regulations.
