Turning the drying yard into a sand collection area in Thai Hoa town

According to the feedback of the people of Bac Ninh hamlet, recently, a sand and gravel collection site has appeared in the drying yard of a coffee business in the area. Every day, many large trucks carry sand here to collect, and at night, they are loaded onto tractor trailers to be transported elsewhere for consumption. It is worth mentioning that this situation has been going on for a long time, affecting people's lives, damaging roads, polluting the environment but has not been handled.

A resident of Bac Ninh hamlet said: Every day, Howo trucks carrying sand to this gathering place are very crowded, and at dusk, they are transported to another place by tractor-trailers. Because the road connecting Provincial Road 545 (now named Hai Thuong Lan Ong Street) to the gathering place is a concrete road, short and has many curves, so every time a truck carrying sand enters or exits, it often scatters sand, polluting the environment and damaging the entire hamlet road.

Some residents were upset when heavy trucks carrying sand continuously came in and out without any inspection or handling by the authorities. At one point, when the trailer truck came in and out carrying sand, it crashed into the wall and damaged people's houses.

Being present at the above mentioned sand area on the morning of November 7, we witnessed many trucks carrying sand to dump at the gathering area. When the heavy truck carrying sand passed by, it even made the ground shake.

According to our research, the above land belongs to Thai Hoa Nghe An Company of Thai Hoa Vietnam Group, with Mr. Nguyen Van An (born in 1956) as Chairman of the Board of Directors and General Director, and has up to 15 member companies such as: Thai Hoa Hoa Binh, Thai Hoa Lam Dong, Thai Hoa Laos, Thai Hoa Quang Tri, Thai Hoa Son La, Thai Hoa Buon Ma Thuot, Thai Hoa Nghe An, An Giang Coffee, ... operating mainly in the coffee sector.

This land has a total area of ​​18,898m², used as a drying yard and warehouse for agricultural products. In addition, this unit also rented about 3,700m²However, according to actual observations, the land under the management of Thai Hoa Nghe An Company has been leased to other units to build warehouses and sand storage areas as mentioned above. It is even used as a place to store scrap.

Talking to us, Mr. Duong Dinh Duong - Chairman of Tay Hieu Commune People's Committee said that after grasping the incident, he will check and then provide specific information.

Surprisingly, Ms. Tran Thi Tinh - Head of the Department of Natural Resources and Environment, People's Committee of Thai Hoa town also said that she did not know that the two above-mentioned lands were rented by Thai Hoa Nghe An Company./.
