Installing surveillance cameras at two sand mines on the Hau River.

TPO - In response to public concerns about sand mining for key national projects, Vinh Long province has committed to taking responsibility for households whose land adjoins the sand mines.

According to the Vinh Long Department of Agriculture and Environment, the exploitation of sand at the two mines has caused particular concern among the local population due to worries about the risk of landslides and the impact on their land, houses, and living environment. The local authorities affirm that the purpose of exploiting the two sand mines is to serve national security and defense projects, key national transportation projects, and contribute to the socio-economic development of the region; it is not for commercial purposes.

In addition, the exploitation of the two sand mines also contributes to regulating the river flow, diverting it to the middle of the river, away from the banks, and reducing the risk of riverbank erosion caused by alluvial deposits that bring the water close to the banks.

In response to public concerns, the leaders of Vinh Long province have issued a document committing to responsibility throughout the implementation process. Accordingly, if the mining unit violates regulations regarding time, scope, depth, capacity, or uses incorrect equipment, it will be severely punished without exception or any forbidden areas. Through a hotline, the relevant authorities are committed to promptly receiving and addressing all public complaints.

In the event of signs of riverbank erosion during mining operations, Vinh Long province will direct a halt to mining activities to investigate and assess the cause, implement necessary remedial measures, and provide compensation if any damage occurs.

When the project is completed, the mine will be closed, ending mining operations. (Illustrative image)
