HO CHI MINH CITY, March 20 (Xinhua) -- A mine explosion on Monday at a quarry in Vietnam's southern Tay Ninh province killed one local worker, the provincial police said.
After Tay Ninh Construction Material Company denoted a mine at the quarry on Phung Mountain, stones hit a 35-year-old man named Thai Van Thao from Tay Ninh, killing him on the spot.
Many firms used to exploit stones on Phung Mountain, but now only Tay Ninh Construction Material Company is allowed to do that by the end of this year, the provincial Department of Natural Resources and Environment said, noting that they want to preserve natural sceneries of the mountain. Enditem
