The city police and border guards have worked with other police and border guards of nearby Dong Nai, Tay Ninh, and Binh Duong provinces to patrol Dong Nai River, Sai Gon River and other transport routes to discover illegal sand mining and trading.
In addition, the city has directed the city’s Department of Natural Resources and Environment and the Department of Transport to work with other units to step up inspections of dredging projects and strictly handle violations.
