On December 25, Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Sam - Vice Chairman of Kon Tum Provincial People's Committee signed a document requesting departments and branches to manage and tighten mineral exploitation activities in the area.
In recent times, the management and protection of unexploited minerals in some localities has not been effective. Illegal mineral exploitation still occurs and has not been completely prevented or stopped.
At sand mines along major rivers such as Dak Bla, Dak Snghe, Po Co River... there is still a situation where some organizations and individuals exploiting minerals have not seriously implemented the installation of weighing stations and surveillance cameras according to regulations. This leads to the risk of loss of resources and loss of State budget revenue.
Kon Tum Provincial People's Committee requested the Department of Natural Resources and Environment and People's Committees of districts and cities to propagate and raise legal awareness of enterprises.
Especially the act of violating the law on exploitation not in accordance with the content of the license as prescribed in Article 227 of the Penal Code.
Authorities will strictly handle acts of not installing or installing weighing stations and surveillance cameras but not putting them into operation, and declaring mineral output that is not true to reality.
Kon Tum Provincial Tax Department strengthens tax management of mineral trading and exploitation activities. Checks legal documents, compliance with books, invoices, and documents of mineral exploitation enterprises.
