Inspectors from the Hanoi Department of Construction will examine several projects funded by the state budget in the districts of Hoang Mai, Long Bien, Bac Tu Liem, Thach That, Hoai Duc, Gia Lam, and Ung Hoa.
In accordance with the inspection plan, the Inspector of the Hanoi Department of Construction will examine the compliance with the law in construction investment activities for several projects using state budget funding in the districts in 2023. Investors and associated units are the subjects of inspection in Long Bien, Bac Tu Liem, Thach That, Hoai Duc, Gia Lam, and Ung Hoa districts in Hoang Mai.
Inspectors will examine the implementation of legal requirements on construction management under construction permits at the People’s Committees of various communes, wards, and townships in the area, as well as at pertinent agencies and units.
Vo Nguyen Phong, director of the Hanoi Department of Construction, stated that inspection activities are becoming more and more concentrated; they are strengthening the inspection of state management and the head’s responsibilities in carrying out assigned tasks; and they are concentrating on sectors, fields, and localities where the public frequently complains about violations, negatives, corruption, and other issues.
In 2022, there will be 266 projects of urban areas and housing areas with the scale of 2 hectares or more in the capital region, of which 168 projects, or 63 percent, do not yet have finished technical and social infrastructure.
The lighting system, particularly the lack of parking, is often incomplete, out of sync, or damaged but slowly repaired in many urban and suburban areas. Lack of flower gardens, trees, schools, sports facilities, and public services means that some urban and residential areas are still hesitant to invest in the construction of wastewater treatment stations.
