编辑同志:我们村的湖边有5亩多荒地,前几年村里分给几户农民开垦,但是他们都不愿投资修水渠和桥,致使土地荒废了好几年。去年我经请示村干部同意后,准备开垦这块荒地,但是,就在我动工修渠时,遭到个别人的阻拦。请问,他们这样做合法吗? 宁夏张成张成同志:土地是人类赖以生存的宝贵资源,国家历来对 Editor’s Comrade: In our village, there are 5 acres of wasteland on the lakeside. A few years ago, the village was assigned to several farmers to reclaim the land. However, they were reluctant to invest in canals and bridges, leaving the land abandoned for several years. Last year, after asking the consent of the village cadres, I planned to reclaim the wasteland. However, when I started to repair the canal, I was stopped by some individuals. Excuse me, are they legal? Ningxia Zhang Cheng Comrade Zhang: Land is a precious resource for mankind to survive.
