Major river polluter Vedan Vietnam has paid its pollution fine and part of the environmental protection fee of more than a hundred billion dong, according to the Dong Nai Department of Natural Resources and Environment.

It said the company is making many efforts to fix the pollution it has caused to the Thi Vai River, as well as to fish farms and farmland in the provinces of Dong Nai and Ba Ria-Vung Tau Province as well as Ho Chi Minh City.

The Dong Nai-based company has reduced its operation at several plants and closed down several others, and is also treating its sewage as required, the department said.
