Tuong Duong: Illegal logging, 1 person died

(Baonghean) - Chairman of the People's Committee of Xieng My commune (Tuong Duong district) Lo Xuan Tinh said that on December 15, Quang Van Dau (born 1981), from Cha Hia village, went to illegally exploit timber in the forest and was unfortunately hit by a falling log and died on the spot.

For a living, even though he knew that illegal logging was illegal, Mr. Dau still ventured into the forest to illegally log wood for sale. Unexpectedly, a log flew into his body and killed him on the spot.

Mr. Tinh also added that currently in the commune, there are many people who still deliberately sneak into the forest to illegally exploit wood, despite the lurking dangers.
