Duong Tan Hien, chairman of Ninh Kieu District, Can Tho City, said they would strictly punish the local firm who encroached on the Hau River for construction of a resort project.

"We had a meeting on July 16 and agreed that this case should be strictly dealt with. However, we don't have the authority and will submit a report to the city people's committee for a final decision," he said.

When being asked whether the authorities will carry out a forced remove, Hien suggested letting the investor, Linh Phuong Company, fix the wrongdoings and pay administrative fines. If Linh Phuong Company failed to fix the wrongdoings themselves, the authorities will remove the constructions.

Dao Anh Dung, vice chairman of Can Tho City, said, "We've asked the Department of Construction, Department of Natural Resources and Environment to work with Ninh Kieu authorities to deal with this case and report the results within this week. We won't cover up for anyone."

   

 Linh Phuong Company encroached on hundreds of square metres of the Hau River

While constructing Con Khuong River Side Resort Project, Linh Phuong Company encroached on hundreds of square metres of the Hau River.

Cai Khe Ward People's Committee suggested a VND110m administrative fine and ordered Linh Phuong to remove the encroaching construction. Since Cai Khe Ward People's Committee doesn't have the authority, to deal with this case, they reported the problem to the higher agencies on March 31 but nothing has yet been done.

Construction surprisingly is still being carried out as usual.
