Many officials were disciplined for allowing nearly 130 houses to be built illegally.

Ho Chi Minh City, Binh Tan District forced 4 officials to quit, warned, and reprimanded them for allowing people to build nearly 130 illegal houses on agricultural land in Tan Tao Ward.

On the afternoon of March 1, Mr. Nguyen Minh Nhut, Chairman of Binh Tan District People's Committee, said that the disciplinary action against related officials would be carried out before Tet.

Specifically, a land officer in charge of the area was forced to resign. The current vice chairman and vice chairman of the ward were warned; the former chairman of the ward from 2016-2020 was reprimanded. In addition to reviewing responsibilities, the district police are investigating and will take action if there are any criminal elements.

"This is a lesson for officials when performing public duties," said Mr. Nhut.

Previously, in October last year, through a district inspection, it was discovered that Tan Tao ward had 129 houses built without permission, of which 90 were built in the period 2015-2020. These houses were built on agricultural land planned for education, parks, trees, traffic, highway protection corridors, etc.

Mr. Vu Chi Kien, Vice Chairman of the District People's Committee, said that regarding the illegal constructions, some areas have been forcibly handled, while other constructions were dismantled by the people themselves but not completely. Later, the district discovered other illegal constructions in some neighboring areas.

This March, the locality will completely handle the re-violating construction, and at the same time consider supporting housing for poor and crowded households if requested.
