Yen Bai - The authorities have requested the revocation of the illegal sand gathering site of the private enterprise Manh Duy Yen Bai.

In early May, after being reported by Lao Dong Newspaper, the number of heavy-duty vehicles carrying sand traveling on Provincial Road 166, passing through Y Can commune, Tran Yen district, Yen Bai province, has decreased significantly.

Traffic police have set up mobile weighing checkpoints and strictly controlled vehicle weights, especially sand vehicles that have caused traffic insecurity in recent times.

At the gathering areas, the density of heavy-duty vehicles entering and exiting to collect sand has decreased significantly, and the amount of sand exploited is no longer "full" as before.
