City halts land transactions around Lao National University
Vientiane authorities have frozen land sales and transfers in Dongdok village and surrounding areas after the National University of Laos filed a claim stating that it had the legal right to own and regulate the area.
Director of the Vientiane Natural Resources and Environment Department, Mr Bountham Phouthanvongsa, said on Wednesday the department had signed an order to suspend land use rights transactions in the area, which also includes parts of Tanmixay, Nathom, Saphangmeuk and Nongviengkham villages.
