Local residents are protesting plans for creating a golf course near Ulaanbaatar. 

The Tuul River Countryside Company seeks to build a golf course along the Tuul River basin at Gachuurt Village in Bayanzurkh district of Ulaanbaatar city. 

However, local residents organized a press conference on Tuesday to object to the plan. An unnamed protester told reporters, ''A number of dignitaries support the company's setting up of the golf course by breaking state law, peeling off earth and destroying the forest and pasture.” 

However, Tuul River Countryside Vice Director, B.Narmandakh, has said no harm will be caused to the surrounding environment by establishing the golf course and will, in fact, bring development to the region. 

Protesters also appealed to NGOs and individuals to prevent any damage the golf course might cause to the Tuul River, which provides drinking water to the city.
