Resolution on establishing a specialized monitoring delegation on state management of minerals in Nghe An

In recent times, Party committees, Party organizations, and authorities at all levels in the province have paid attention to leading, directing, and issuing many documents guiding the implementation of State regulations on mineral management, protection, and management of mineral activities, organizing and implementing synchronous solutions, closely coordinating with socio-political organizations, and local people to actively participate in the management of mineral exploitation, processing, trading, and transportation activities; gradually bringing the State management of minerals in the province into order. Mineral exploitation activities have made important contributions to the overall economic development of the province.

However, the effectiveness of state management of minerals and mineral activities is not high, there are still limitations and shortcomings; there are still violations of the law in mineral activities, causing labor safety loss, over-exploitation, environmental pollution, etc.

The inspection, examination and handling of violations in mineral activities have not been regular and timely; some localities still allow illegal mineral exploitation to occur, causing landslides, environmental pollution, loss of mineral resources, loss of budget revenue, affecting security and order, and labor safety; coordination between departments, branches and levels is sometimes and in some places not tight and synchronous. This is an issue that voters and people are concerned about and recommend.

The Provincial People's Council issued a Resolution to establish a specialized monitoring delegation on "State management of minerals in Nghe An province" to evaluate the achieved results, limit difficulties, and subjective and objective causes.

Propose tasks and solutions to implement mineral management and exploitation; recommend the Provincial People's Council, Provincial People's Committee, departments and branches to remove difficulties and obstacles to effectively perform tasks; create strong changes in state management of minerals in the province.
