Unauthorized well drilling and sand mining shall be ordered to be restored

"Ding," the cell phone rang. Prosecutor Yang Qingchun received several photos WeChat, in which the river had obviously just been leveled.

"Hello, prosecutor, the situation of private well drilling in the Wujinzi River has been dealt with, and we are deploying the next step of inspection, regulation and publicity of law popularization." The person in charge of the Water Bureau sent a message.

"Yang Jian, there was feedback on the case of sand mining in the river last week, and the hole dug has been filled up." Prosecutor Zhang Gailian said excitedly.

Recently, the People's Procuratorate of Guyang County, Baotou City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, successively discovered two acts of river destruction. One is that some villagers dug wells for irrigation without permission in the south river channel of Donggongzhong Village in Guyang County, the construction area was large, and a large number of stones were piled up around; the other is that some people dug pits for sand mining without permission in the Tianshengcheng section of the Qin Great Wall in Guyang County, which not only destroyed the river sand resources, but also caused the riverbed to cut down, and the bank slope became steep and easy to collapse. Both cases have caused damage to the river course, which may affect the normal flood discharge function of the river course and damage the national and social public interests. After

discovering the situation, the People's Procuratorate of Guyang County immediately filed a case for investigation and issued procuratorial suggestions to the Water Bureau of Guyang County, demanding that they promptly perform their duties in accordance with the law, immediately stop the illegal acts, order the restoration of the status quo and deal with those responsible for the violations. At the same time, we should strengthen the normal protection, inspection and regulation of rivers and publicity of the rule of law, strengthen the quality and efficiency of law enforcement in the field of water resources protection, and serve the high-quality development of economy and society. After

receiving the procuratorial suggestions, Guyang County Water Bureau acted quickly, and in less than a week, it has effectively dealt with two illegal acts to avoid further infringement and damage results, and the follow-up work is also in full swing.
