Lao Cai provincial authorities have introduced new directives aimed at strengthening local management and oversight. Initially, the province issued Directive No. 14/CT-UBND to enhance environmental protection. This directive focuses on preventing environmental hotspots through a management model of “6 clear [responsibilities] and 1 continuous [process],” holding local leaders directly accountable for metrics such as emission control and pollution remediation.

Subsequently, the province expanded its regulatory scope to include airspace safety. Through document 10756/UBND-NC, authorities implemented new measures to manage unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), kites, balloons, and laser lights to prevent interference with civil and military aviation. The provincial police are tasked with monitoring and handling violations related to these flight restrictions.
