Ca Mau establishes 13 wards: Hong Dan with a strong aspiration to rise

Hong Dan commune in Ca Mau province has officially been upgraded to Hong Dan ward, signifying a new era of development and solidifying its role as an urban center and growth engine for the region. This administrative transformation is not merely a change in designation but represents a strategic move to enhance urban management and foster economic vitality in northern Ca Mau.

Established by consolidating areas from two former communes and a town in Bac Lieu province, Hong Dan ward now covers over 124 square kilometers and has a population of 53,452. It serves as the administrative, commercial, and service hub for northern Ca Mau, playing a crucial role in regional trade and economic development. The upgrade aligns with the provincial government's policy of reorganizing administrative units to suit urbanization and establish appropriate governance models.

Nguyen Nhan Duc, Chairman of the former Hong Dan commune, explained that the establishment of Hong Dan ward aims to implement the policy of reorganizing and consolidating administrative units. This move is designed to create a governance model suitable for the ongoing urbanization process, expand urban management scope, and elevate local governance standards toward a more civilized and modern approach. It is also intended to improve the effectiveness of state management in areas like planning, construction, land use, public order, and environmental protection.

The upgrade is expected to facilitate better public services for residents and businesses. In recent years, Hong Dan has seen significant positive changes in urban development, with improvements in transportation, electricity, water, and communication infrastructure. Commercial activities and business operations have diversified, meeting the growing demands of the local population. The increasing concentration of residents and the expansion of urban areas necessitate enhanced management of architectural spaces, construction, environmental protection, and public service delivery according to urban standards.
