Mining violations in the Region Seven
The following are photos sent by concerned persons to Kaieteur News. They are asking Minister of Natural Resources, Vickram Bharrat, to intervene and to launch an investigation as the rivers are frequently traversed by mining officers who are not acting.
This river dredge (dragger) illegally busted its ways into the buffer zone, a restricted area on the river bank, in the Kurupung River. It got stuck there after the water level fell.
This dragger is pictured here chewing away at a river bank area in Kurupung, a big no-no in mining. Miners are complaining that GGMC officers are taking payoffs and nothing is being done about it despite complaints.
