Continuous erosion: Sand overexploitation?

Residents here all suspect that excessive sand mining along the Tien River caused more landslides. Whether landslides in Ong Islets are directly related to excessive sand mining will be decided by the investigation by the authority. However, landslides have threatened local people's lives. Previously, Ong Islets with thousands of hectares of fruit gardens have been selected by the authority to develop eco-tourism.
