Residents of Bảo An Ward, Khánh Hòa Province, are protesting the operation of two large sand depots located within their residential area. The depots have been operating for over a year, causing significant disruption due to dust, noise pollution, and damage to local infrastructure. Local authorities have stated that no permits have been issued for sand collection or storage in this location. The unauthorized activity has sparked community outrage and demands for intervention. Officials are now investigating the situation and the origins of the unapproved depots. The situation highlights potential issues with land management and enforcement of regulations regarding natural resource extraction. Residents are seeking a resolution to mitigate the negative impacts on their quality of life.
