Lawmaker Sulu Sou has called on the government to reclaim the land located at zone C and zone D of Nam Van Lake. Sou has urged the administration authorities to announce the invalidity of related lands as soon as possible, and to follow with the announcement of immediate procedures to reclaim the land.
