The Czech Ministry of the Environment has intervened in the protracted case of the Heřmanice landfill, a situation involving a long-standing fire. The ministry's decision to take over the case stems from identified shortcomings and errors within the Czech Inspectorate of the Environment's handling of the matter.

Following its review, the ministry has advised the Inspectorate to conduct a thorough investigation into the potential ecological damage associated with the landfill. This directive suggests that the ministry believes further scrutiny is necessary to assess the environmental impact and ensure appropriate measures are taken.

This distinction is crucial as the investigation into potential environmental harm proceeds.
