Close-up of the forced demolition of 170 illegally built houses in Ho Chi Minh City

Most of the houses above were built by speculators and then sold to people with handwritten documents. The people who are currently using and residing in them do not have legal ownership or purchase documents.

A leader of Tan Tao Ward People's Committee said that it would take about 2 months to enforce the demolition of all the above apartments. Before that, the government had to persuade many times before the residents accepted the demolition plan.

According to the direction of the Binh Tan District Party Committee, it is expected that by the end of 2023, the enforcement of the above-mentioned illegally built apartments will be completed. Due to the illegal construction, the residents will not be compensated. The local government said that the residents who are subject to enforcement will not be supported with relocation or temporary residence, but instead, the residents will have to bear all the costs of enforcement.

Below are a series of images of Binh Tan district authorities forcibly demolishing 170 illegally built houses.

Hundreds of houses built without permission on agricultural land and land planned for public works

The above houses were built a long time ago, have existed for a very long time, and have changed owners over many generations.

Due to the lack of determination and thoroughness in handling the situation, hundreds of illegally built houses have sprung up.

Many of these houses have been bought and sold by many people.

Because this is a public construction project that has been "suspended" for many years without implementation, and compensation has not been carried out, many people expect it to be cleared.

Therefore, despite the risks, many people still spend billions to buy these unlicensed houses, with the hope that later the project will be removed from "suspension" and the houses will be able to exist.

However, local authorities have resolutely enforced the demolition of these illegally built houses.

A family is gathering and picking up their belongings to move to a new place after their house was forcibly evicted.

Although we know that illegal construction must be severely punished, seeing this scene of devastation still makes people feel sad.

While there is no new place to live, a resident temporarily covered the floor of his old house with a tarp to make a "temporary residence".
