Security forces have arrested two individuals in the Eastern Region. The suspects are accused of operating illegal mining pits.
The arrests are part of an ongoing effort by authorities to stop illegal mining activities. This practice is commonly called galamsey.
Illegal mining has caused significant damage to the environment and water bodies in many parts of the country.
Authorities are committed to enforcing laws against such activities to protect natural resources.
The police have not yet released further details regarding the identities of the arrested individuals or the specific locations of the illegal sites.
The operation is expected to continue in other areas known for galamsey.
This move aims to uphold environmental protection laws and ensure sustainable resource management.
Further investigations are underway to determine the full extent of the illegal operations.
