On the morning of April 15, Captain Ha Huy Hung, Head of the Investigation Police Team, Cam Xuyen District Police (Ha Tinh), said that this unit is sending forces to investigate and search for the person who seriously injured a local resident and snatched and damaged the camera of reporter Nguyen Dung - of the North Central Region Representative Office (Thanh Nien Newspaper).
According to reporter Nguyen Dung, at around 3:40 p.m. on April 14, he asked Mr. Bui Duc Ha (38 years old, residing in Hamlet 4, Cam My Commune, Cam Xuyen District) to take him by motorbike to a mountainous area, near the farm of the breeding and beef cattle project of Binh Ha Livestock Joint Stock Company (under Hoang Anh Gia Lai Group) to record the current state of environmental pollution because untreated wastewater from this project was discharged directly into Vang Vang stream (flowing through Hamlet 4, Hamlet 5, Hamlet 6, Cam My Commune) as reported by local people.
Here, while Mr. Ha (carrying Mr. Nguyen Dung behind) was riding his motorbike, 3 motorbikes carrying 6 people who were security guards of Binh Ha Livestock Joint Stock Company rushed to block the road and one of the 6 security guards knocked Mr. Ha's motorbike to the ground. At the same time, this person cursed, rushed in to punch and kick, and grabbed a rock from the roadside to hit Mr. Ha, causing the victim to suffer head and face injuries. When Mr. Nguyen Dung came to stop him and asked him to stop beating Mr. Ha, this person immediately grabbed the camera (Canon brand, super zoom type) from Nguyen Dung's hand and threw it straight to the ground, causing serious damage to the camera.
After the incident, Mr. Nguyen Dung and Mr. Ha went to the Cam Quan Commune Police headquarters to report the incident and at the same time informed the Cam Xuyen District Police to promptly investigate.
Mr. Nguyen Cong Dung, Chief of Cam Quan Commune Police, said that this unit is coordinating with Cam Xuyen District Police to investigate and clarify the case.
On the morning of April 15, Captain Ha Huy Hung, Captain of the Investigation Police Team of Cam Xuyen District Police, informed that the complaint has identified a specific subject in the security team of Binh Ha Livestock Joint Stock Company who seriously injured Mr. Bui Duc Ha and smashed Mr. Nguyen Dung's camera.
It is known that the breeding and beef cattle project of Binh Ha Livestock Joint Stock Company has a scale of 150,000 heads, implemented in the area of 2 districts Cam Xuyen and Ky Anh (Ha Tinh) with a total area of nearly 5,000 hectares of forest land, total investment capital of 5,045 billion VND. The project is divided into 2 phases, in which phase 1 has a scale of 30,000 heads, total investment capital of 845 billion VND; phase 2 has a scale of 150,000 heads, total investment capital of 4,200 billion VND.
From November 2015 to April 15, 2016, hundreds of people in Cam Quan and Cam My communes (Cam Xuyen district), where the project is implementing phase 1, have repeatedly reported to Ha Tinh authorities and local press agencies about the serious pollution caused by this project to the domestic water source of people in the area below the project.
From the people's feedback, on April 8, 2016, in Official Dispatch No. 736/TNMT-CCMT of the Department of Natural Resources and Environment of Ha Tinh Province on "reporting the results of the inspection of environmental protection work of the cattle breeding project of Binh Ha Livestock Joint Stock Company" it was shown that: the project's cow manure was partly treated at the compost house, the rest was dumped in 3 plots of land with an area of about 300-400m2 each outdoors, without waterproofing, not in accordance with the commitment in the approved Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), with the risk of causing environmental pollution when it rains.
During the inspection, the authorities discovered that the company was burying the dead cows (3 cows) in violation of the approved procedures according to the EIA report, specifically: Burying the dead cows without lining them with waterproofing materials, without spraying disinfectants, without spreading lime powder... according to the procedures for handling dead animals issued by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development. The authorities have drawn up a record requesting the Company to stop burying the dead cows and carry out the burial in accordance with the procedures and under the supervision of the veterinary agency (according to the Company's report, the total number of dead cows up to April 8, 2016 was 41, buried at 2 locations).
In addition, through inspection, the working group also determined that the local people's reflection on the current situation of the cattle breeding project of Binh Ha Livestock Joint Stock Company causing environmental pollution is true.
