The location of the vehicles expanding and taking over the "land" is located at the border between Thach Tien village, Thach Ngan commune (Con Cuong district) and Lang Chet village, Tho Son commune (Anh Son district). These vehicles have "ruined" the roads through Thach Ngan and Thanh Son communes (Con Cuong). Photo: Thanh Chung |

The road is narrow, with heavy trucks occupying the entire road, making it difficult for people to travel on this road, and there is a high risk of accidents. According to local people, from around 3am to 8pm, dozens of heavy trucks pass through here to enter Khe Chet and then exit, carrying heavy loads of soil. This situation has been going on for nearly a year. On average, they run once for 4-5 days and then stop for about a month. People have complained many times but no authorities have taken any action.

On the afternoon of June 30, in the area where the "soil" is being taken, two excavators were operating at full capacity, digging into mountains and hills; dozens of heavy-duty trucks continuously went in and out to take the "soil" away.

| In the “soil” that was scooped up and transported, there was a lot of dark brown ore, kidney-shaped crystals, with a dense or porous structure. According to geological research projects: Thach Tien village area, Thach Ngan commune (Con Cuong) has limonite iron ore of weathering origin. This ore is used as an additive to adjust the cement production industry, and was previously banned from mining. Photo: Thanh Chung |
