Correspondence from Western Region All the banks of Bonsar River at Bonsar in the Tarkwa Nsuaem Municipality of Western Region have been taken over by illegal mining operators.
They are destroying not just the environment along the river banks, but the main water body feeding the Head Works of Tarkwa Station of Ghana Water Company Limited.
Consequently, Western Regional Minister, Joseph Nelson, has stormed the illegal mining sites at the Bonsar Head Works Station in the Tarkwa Nsuaem Municipality of Western Region with security forces to flush out illegal miners who are working on daily basis to pollute the Bonsar river.
Speaking in an interview shortly after the operations, the minister, Joseph Nelson, said the exercise will continue until the river banks in the region have been duly cleared off illegal mining activities and the water bodies purified to their natural states.
