The entire hillside in Dong Gia Nghia has been "carved up" for illegal land exploitation.

Residents in Dong Gia Nghia ward (Lam Dong province) have reported illegal land exploitation to the local authorities, but after more than half a month, the issue remains unresolved.

The entire hillside was "carved up" for illegal land exploitation.

For more than half a month, the lives of residents in residential area 6, Dong Gia Nghia ward ( Lam Dong province ) have been disrupted by illegal land exploitation.

From 9 AM to 11 PM, dozens of trucks carrying soil operate, forcing dozens of households to live amidst dirt, dust, and noise.

The area where illegal land exploitation is taking place is located in residential group 6, Dong Gia Nghia ward.

Ms. N. stated that illegal land exploitation has been ongoing since the beginning of November. Every day, excavators and trucks continuously enter and exit the site, severely altering the natural state of a hill.

Citing footage from her family's security camera, Ms. N. said: "They operate most heavily at night. Some days, 7-8 dump trucks (trucks carrying soil) run until 3 am before stopping."

According to images provided by local residents, trucks carrying soil operate continuously from morning until late at night.

Ms. H. added that as soon as the land exploitation was discovered, many households notified the authorities, requesting measures to stop it. However, for more than half a month, this situation has continued and is being carried out openly.

"Many residents have directly messaged and called the ward leaders, but so far there has been no change. They are still brazenly excavating and transporting the soil elsewhere," Ms. H. said, citing a series of messages she sent to the leaders of the Dong Gia Nghia Ward People's Committee as evidence.

Large trucks carrying soil, often without proper covering, are scattering dirt and rocks all over the local road.

According to local residents, the land excavation is taking place openly, in defiance of the law.

Besides depleting resources, this illegal mining also poses serious risks such as landslides, workplace accidents, and traffic safety hazards.

Ms. D. said that hundreds of heavy trucks pass through every day, causing severe damage to the local road. This road, approximately 2km long, was built with contributions from the residents and serves about 200 households in the area.

"In just half a month, the road has been severely damaged. The locals are very upset because it's community property being destroyed by people from elsewhere," said Ms. D.

According to local residents, the soil was transported and dumped in an area about 1km away.

Speaking with reporters from Lam Dong Newspaper and Radio and Television, Mr. Thach Canh Tinh, Chairman of the People's Committee of Dong Gia Nghia Ward, confirmed that illegal land exploitation is occurring and that he has received complaints from residents. However, whenever officials come to inspect, the perpetrators are no longer at the scene.

In response to the question, "Why haven't these issues been resolved despite public complaints for a long time?", the leader stated, "We are monitoring the situation, and if there are sufficient grounds, we will pursue criminal charges."
