Voters in Do Luong: We need to resolutely deal with violations of illegal sand and gravel mining.

(Baonghean.vn) -As part of the voter outreach program following the National Assembly session, on the morning of November 28th, National Assembly representatives from Nghe An province, 14th term, constituency No. 1, including Mr. Le Quang Huy, Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee; and Mr. Nguyen Huu Cau, Member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Director of the Provincial Police, held a meeting with voters in Bac Son, Nam Son, and Dang Son communes, Do Luong district.

Also in attendance were representatives from the Department of Natural Resources and Environment, the Department of Transport, the Department of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs, and leaders of the People's Committee of Do Luong district.

On behalf of the Provincial Delegation of National Assembly Deputies, Mr. Le Quang Huy briefly informed the voters about the main contents of the 2nd session of the 14th National Assembly.

Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee Le Quang Huy informed voters about the content of the session.

In their petition to National Assembly representatives, voters in Do Luong reflected on the situation of illegal sand and gravel mining in the Lam River basin, noting that numerous complaints have remained unresolved. The section of the Lam River passing through Dang Son commune has two major projects: the Bara Dam and the Do Luong Bridge. Recently, some units have been indiscriminately mining sand near the bridge's base, altering the river's flow. According to regulations, vessels are prohibited from mining within 500 meters upstream of the Bara Dam and the Do Luong Bridge, but construction continues, causing landslides and public discontent.

Voters in Do Luong district have submitted a proposal.

Voters in Do Luong also expressed concern about several issues such as: policies for those who have rendered meritorious service to the revolution and war invalids; the need for timely financial assistance for people affected by natural disasters and floods; the construction of more polling stations to report crimes in order to strengthen the fight against corruption; greater attention to investment in agricultural development; surveying the geological strata in areas where land has cracked due to illegal sand mining; the rampant multi-level marketing causing public anxiety; and the need for stricter management of drug prices and the business operations of pharmacies.

Voters in Do Luong expressed concern about the drug problem, as this type of crime is on the rise, affecting social security and order. Therefore, voters suggested that attention should be paid to placing drug addicts in centralized rehabilitation facilities, building community-based rehabilitation models, and preventing relapse.

Provincial Police Chief Nguyen Huu Cau explains the voters' petition.

At the conference, the Director of the Provincial Police, Nguyen Huu Cau, directly addressed several issues of concern to voters. Regarding the issue of illegal sand and gravel mining, Mr. Cau requested the People's Committee of Do Luong District to coordinate with the Department of Natural Resources and Environment to continue surveying, inspecting, and clearly identifying the problem, and to promptly resolve the voters' concerns. He instructed the District Police to conduct surprise inspections, and if necessary, initiate criminal proceedings. "We will pursue this relentlessly, and if necessary, we will direct the Nghe An Provincial Police to get involved," Mr. Cau stated.

Mr. Nguyen Huu Cau also provided specific explanations to voters in Do Luong district regarding several issues related to the National Assembly.
