Therefore, Project Management Board 6 requests the People's Committee of Dak Lak province to pay attention and direct departments, branches and localities to focus on implementing and promptly completing procedures for changing the purpose of forest use; focus on mobilizing households who have received compensation and support for site clearance to promptly harvest trees and crops to promptly hand over the site to the contractor for construction; focus on doing a good job of propaganda, mobilizing and persuading households who have not agreed on the approved plan; continue to support and promptly complete procedures for putting the sand mine into service for project construction...

For Component Project 3, invested by the Dak Lak Province Management Board of Investment Projects for Construction of Transport Works and Rural Development, the total length of the route is over 48 km, passing through 3 districts including Cu Kuin, Krong Pac and Ea Kar. Up to now, nearly 46 km of the site has been handed over (reaching 95.41%), the remaining area has not been cleared due to the forest area that must undergo procedures to change the purpose of forest use; the material mines serving the project construction have not met the conditions.
