Mr. Tran Van Nam assessed that cadres, party members and people are all interested in environmental protection, there are many good models and initiatives in every street, corner, construction, project, office and school campus.

Mr. Tran Van Nam, Secretary of Binh Chanh District Party Committee, spoke at the conference on the morning of September 6.
The Secretary of Binh Chanh also requested communes and towns to proactively check landfills in the area to clean them up, plant trees, and create parks and landscapes. In addition, socio-political organizations such as youth, veterans, farmers, and women participate in planting and preserving trees. In early October 2023, the Binh Chanh District Party Committee will conduct an inspection.
Mr. Tran Van Nam added that the district will work with the investor of Phu My Hung Urban Area to choose Nguyen Van Linh Street as a key road for development. In particular, the two sides must be cleaned up, and the middle will be renovated into a lotus pond, creating a space to welcome Tet.
The leaders of Binh Chanh District Party Committee also requested units such as the police, Department of Natural Resources and Environment, and Department of Urban Management to coordinate with communes and towns to strengthen inspection and handling of scrap collection points that cause environmental pollution.
Nguyen Van Linh Street, Binh Chanh District, Ho Chi Minh City
Nguyen Van Linh Street is about 18 km long, passing through District 7, District 8 and Binh Chanh District. The starting point connects with Huynh Tan Phat Street (District 7) and the end point intersects with National Highway 1 (Binh Chanh District), connecting with the Ho Chi Minh City - Trung Luong Expressway.
This route is planned to have a road width of 60 - 120 m. For some completed sections, trees will be planted in the middle instead of a median strip. However, there are still areas that have not been expanded, between the lanes there is an empty land like a stagnant pond, overgrown with grass.
