UB Mayor closes River Tuul quarry www.news.mn
Ulaanbaatar Mayor S.Batbold, has announced that the operation of a quarry next to the River Tuul is to cease. The ban comes into immediate force from today (29th of March). It is considered that the existence of the quarry next to the river, which flows through the heart of the Mongolian capital, contravenes the rights of citizens. A total of eleven companies based along the banks of the River Tuul will be effected by this new law.
In 2016, Mongolian law enforcement officers suspended the operational permits of four companies and imposed fines in excess of MNT 20 million for re-cultivation.
