• Harmonizing people's interests in land clearance for Ca Mau - Dat Mui expressway
  • Before July 20, Ca Mau handed over the site to start construction of the Ca Mau - Dat Mui expressway.

Urgent completion of the starting point

According to the plan, the Ca Mau - Dat Mui expressway will run parallel to National Highway 1 to the end point of the route in Kinh Nam hamlet, Dat Mui commune (intersection with Ho Chi Minh road) connecting to Hon Khoai island . The entire route has a total length of about 81 km, passing through 10 communes, with 2 stops and 8 intersections. Along both sides of the expressway, there are arranged residential roads, water supply roads to serve production and travel of people, with the total area recovered for the project expected to be about 713.09 ha.

The section near the end of the Can Tho - Ca Mau expressway (in Ho Thi Ky commune) connects to the Trans-Asia Highway and continues to the Ca Mau - Dat Mui expressway, to Hon Khoai island.

The Ca Mau - Dat Mui expressway section passing through Dat Mui commune is about 13 km long, passing through Ba Khue, Vinh Nuoc Soi, Kinh Nam, Khai Long hamlets (managed by Dat Mui Protective Forest Management Board), with a total recovered land area of 1,087,458.2 m2.

Mr. Nguyen Chi Nhan, Deputy Director of the Ca Mau Provincial Land Fund Development Center, said: “The Provincial People's Committee has given urgent instructions to prepare for the groundbreaking on August 19. The unit has coordinated with the Dat Mui Commune People's Committee to develop and approve the compensation and resettlement support plan. The 3-hectare groundbreaking location, managed by the Dat Mui Protective Forest Management Board, has also completed the plan approval. Currently, the Center is coordinating with the Dat Mui Protective Forest Management Board to collect forest trees to hand over the site to Army Corps 12 on time as prescribed.”

Harmonizing common tasks with people's interests

The Ca Mau - Dat Mui Expressway is expected to affect 3 organizations and 1,719 households and individuals when the land is cleared; of which, 223 households and individuals will have their houses, works and structures affected. In addition, there are 112 graves and 40 mausoleums of relatives of households affected by the project.

Colonel Nguyen Phuc Cuong, Deputy Director of the Provincial Police, said: To ensure security and order and progress of land acquisition for the project, the Provincial Police will coordinate to develop and implement a plan to ensure security and order throughout the implementation of the land acquisition, compensation and resettlement support project. Proactively coordinate with relevant agencies, departments, branches, Party committees and commune authorities to monitor and grasp the situation, implementation progress, difficulties and obstacles that may affect security and order to promptly advise, guide and propose competent authorities to resolve early, from the grassroots level, not allowing complications to arise that affect the site clearance for the project.

The end point of the Ca Mau - Dat Mui expressway is located in Kinh Nam hamlet, Dat Mui commune (intersection with Ho Chi Minh road) connecting to Hon Khoai island.

Mr. Nguyen Phuong Dong, Party Secretary, Chairman of the People's Council of Dat Moi commune, said: "Currently, Dat Moi commune is proactively coordinating with organizations in charge of compensation and site clearance, carrying out the work of placing markers, measuring and counting assets, structures, crops and livestock affected by the project; appraising and submitting for approval the compensation, support and resettlement plan; propagating and mobilizing people to hand over the site on time as prescribed."

Mr. Vo Van Chinh, Ba Khue hamlet, Dat Moi commune, said: "The project passes through, affecting nearly 5 hectares of family's production land. However, because this is a state project, of strategic significance in the province's socio-economic development and security and defense, the family agrees to implement it, contributing to bringing common benefits to the homeland."

Mr. Lam Van Bi, Member of the Provincial Standing Committee, Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee, stated that, together with the East-West axis routes, the Ca Mau - Dat Mui expressway will be a pillar for the development of the marine economy, exploiting the potential and strengths of Ca Mau province, and firmly ensuring national defense and security. During the project implementation, we must ensure the spirit of urgency and on-schedule progress, but also uphold fairness and not favor group interests. Whatever belongs to the interests of the people must be protected and implemented with the highest political determination.
