Cat Lai Ward in Ho Chi Minh City has successfully completed the 100% handover of land required for three critical infrastructure projects, marking a significant step in the city's development. The projects include the expansion of Nguyen Thi Dinh Street, the My Thuy intersection, and the construction of the Firefighting and Rescue Police Department headquarters on the river.

During a handover ceremony on Friday, local authorities, including the Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of the People's Council, along with representatives from the Ho Chi Minh City Police, the Management Board of Traffic Construction Projects, and other relevant agencies, were present. The completion of land clearance is crucial for advancing these key projects, which are vital for the eastern part of the city.

This is a commendable result after a long process of facing many difficulties, requiring the authorities to persistently dialogue with the people and businesses. The People's Committee of the ward acknowledges and is grateful for the consensus and sharing of the people who have proactively handed over the land on schedule.

Vo Tan Quan, Chairman of the People's Committee of Cat Lai Ward, described the achievement as a commendable result after a long period of facing numerous difficulties. He emphasized the importance of persistent dialogue with residents and businesses, expressing gratitude for the cooperation and understanding shown by the community in voluntarily handing over the land on schedule. The ward successfully resolved 570 compensation and resettlement cases, ensuring the projects stayed on track.

Residents, like Ho Xuan Sac from Nguyen Thi Dinh Street, expressed their hopes for the timely completion of the projects. He noted that the area has long suffered from severe traffic congestion and accident risks. Sac urged the investors and construction units to focus their resources on accelerating the project's implementation with guaranteed quality, fulfilling the sacrifices made by the local population.

The road and the My Thuy intersection have long been important traffic arteries but have always been congested, overloaded, and potentially dangerous.
