To ensure progress in line with the Prime Minister’s direction, he asked the relevant localities to accelerate planning and construction of resettlement areas; strengthen land management and construction-order management; and fully and seriously carry out survey extracts, cadastral extracts, verification of land origins and determination of resettlement-support eligibility for residents.
