(Baonghean.vn) -Illegal sand mining on the Lam River in Thanh Chuong district is increasing, causing serious erosion on both banks. What's concerning is that dozens of large-scale mining sites and hundreds of sand mining vessels operate day and night, yet the authorities and local government are largely neglecting inspections and taking action. Public opinion questions whether there is collusion or complicity from some local officials in the illegal sand mining activities in the district.
