”We invited the Environmental Protection Agency, Water Resources Commission and other authorities of concern and they issued cautions to the companies involved but all fell on deaf ears. If you don’t stop the mining we will protect our water bodies, by all means possible… we can’t allow them to destroy our water bodies”, he stressed.
