At the meeting, voter Cao Xuan Tam, head of Van Nam hamlet in Binh Hop commune, reported that many units are exploiting sand and gravel along the Con River in the area. However, excessive sand and gravel mining can cause changes in the river's flow, erosion, lowering of the riverbed, and negative impacts on infrastructure and the livelihoods of local people. Therefore, Mr. Cao Xuan Tam requested that the relevant authorities promptly develop a plan to address this issue.

Sharing the same opinion, another voter stated that the people of Binh Hop commune are primarily engaged in agriculture, and in recent years have been negatively affected by sand and gravel mining in the area. Therefore, the voter suggested that before granting mining permits, the competent authorities should carefully consider the local conditions and the impact on the people, avoiding negative effects on their lives.
