A/R: Anti-galamsey taskforce seizes excavators, generators, motorbikes, guns along Pra River

The Anti-Galamsey Taskforce in the Ashanti Region has intensified its operations against illegal mining activities, particularly in the Pra River area. In a recent operation, the taskforce seized multiple excavators, generators, motorbikes, and firearms linked to illegal miners. The initiative is part of a broader effort to combat illegal mining and protect water bodies from pollution and degradation caused by these activities.

The operation involved collaboration with local police and stakeholders. The taskforce remains committed to enforcing anti-galamsey laws while encouraging community involvement in safeguarding natural resources. Authorities have emphasized the importance of preserving the environment and ensuring sustainable practices within mining operations. As illegal mining poses significant threats to both ecosystems and local communities, these proactive measures aim to restore the integrity of affected areas along the river.
