Tetegu Residents Deny Galamsey Claims, Raise Alarm Over Changfan Operations at Weija Lake
Residents of Tetegu have denied allegations linking them to illegal mining, popularly known as galamsey, at the Weija Lake, insisting they have no involvement in mining activities within or around the water body.
The residents say their attention has instead been drawn to the activities of a changfan operating on the lake, which they allege may be dredging sand and depositing the extracted material along the banks.
According to the residents, the alleged activities have raised concerns about the condition of the lake and the potential impact on its surrounding environment.
They are therefore calling on the relevant authorities to investigate the operations taking place on the lake and establish whether the activities are properly authorised and comply with applicable environmental regulations.
The residents maintain that a thorough investigation is necessary to determine the nature and legality of the activities and to safeguard the Weija Lake and its surrounding environment.
They have urged the authorities to act promptly to address concerns over activities on the water body and prevent any potential environmental damage.
