Authorities work to stop illegal mining

At the same time, the Deputy Prime Minister assigned the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment to implement solutions for mining management.

According to the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, the prevention of illegal mining of sand and gravel in rivers helps preserve natural resources. However, illegal exploitation still occurs, with hot spots in Vinh Phuc, Hanoi, Phu Tho, Ba Ria- Vung Tau, Ho Chi Minh City and Dong Nai.

More measures are now being put into place to stop illegal mining.
