Concrete pillars have been buried on the road to the sandbank in Truong Xuan village and Tho Loc Tay village, Tinh Ha commune (north bank of Tra Khuc river) since May. Each pillar is 1-2 m in diameter, buried more than 1 m deep, and 2 m above ground. In addition to the pillars, many cameras have been installed along the route to monitor illegal mining. The installation was advised by the district police, and the locality settled the cost.

Lieutenant Colonel Nguyen Van Dong, Chief of Police of Son Tinh District, said that the sand has been illegally exploited for more than 20 years. Near the area, there are about 100 households making a living by digging sand. Trucks from the main road, follow the trails to the site to buy sand to transport for sale. People often collect sand at night, with people assigned to guard. Illegal sand mining not only causes loss of revenue but also endangers people when it is dark and sand trucks speed and overtake recklessly.

Recently, Quang Ngai has allowed businesses to auction sand mines on rivers, aiming to regulate sand mining and collect resource taxes. At the above mentioned sandbank, a company won the auction with an estimated reserve of about 13,000 m3, but illegal mining is still rampant. In the past three months, the district police have handled 35 cases and 38 violators.

Illegal sand mining occurs in many localities, causing riverbank erosion and greatly affecting people's lives. In addition to increasing the number of patrol forces, in many places people set up guard posts or put stakes on the river to prevent sand mining boats.
