Up to this point, all projects have started construction and achieved a certain volume.
According to the Prime Minister's direction, by February 15, 2024, the provinces must hand over the land for 1,180/1,180 foundation locations. However, as of February 15, 2024, 64/1,180 foundation locations have not been handed over.
In addition, there are 99 column foundation locations that have been handed over but cannot be constructed due to problems, mainly related to procedures for impacting the forest to open roads for construction, disagreement on land origin, land disputes...
