Authorities have intensified their crackdown on illegal mining activities with a pre-dawn raid that resulted in the arrest of two Chinese nationals. The operation also uncovered a sophisticated water diversion scheme targeting the Dankai River.
The National Anti-Illegal Mining Operations Secretariat (NAIMOS) led the raid, which is part of ongoing efforts to combat the pervasive issue of illegal mining across the country. The discovery of the water diversion infrastructure highlights the elaborate methods employed by illegal miners to exploit natural resources.
