An area consisting of 240,000 square meters of land is being cleared and is expected to be released to the community by the end of this year. The clearance was initiated following a technical survey conducted by RENEW's Cluster Munitions Team in 2011. Using USAF bombing data and local reports, the survey looked for evidence of cluster munitions, munitions that often prevent the normal use of land as they are considered the most dangerous remnant of war to plague the area.
