The government has intensified its fight against illegal mining, commonly known as galamsey, resulting in over 500 arrests over the past five months.
This crackdown is part of renewed efforts to combat illegal mining, while also launching a significant land restoration initiative aimed at rehabilitating 10,000 hectares of degraded land.
According to a report by citinewsroom.com on June 8, this intensified effort is designed to protect the environment and promote responsible resource management.
Officials indicate that the crackdown aims to reverse the environmental damage caused by years of unregulated mining activities.
