Illegal gold mining in Pi Toong Commune is causing pollution in the northern province of Son La’s Muong La District, and using up water resources necessary for local agriculture.
The lack of water for rice fields was threatening the livelihoods of many families in villages close to the mining area.
Witnesses said that more than 10 teams of gold miners were working illegally along Toong Stream, which runs through Lua, Hua Na and Na Phia villages in Pi Toong Commune.
