The Forestry Commission is taking a tough stance against illegal miners, known as “galamseyers,” in Sekyere Kumawu.
District Manager Alfred Yabepone issued a stern warning to these individuals, urging them to stop their destructive activities that threaten the environment and residents’ safety.
Mr. Yabepone expressed concern that illegal mining and tree felling have encroached on forest reserves, jeopardizing environmental sustainability.
He urged the miners to cease operations to safeguard the forest ecosystem.
The Forestry Commission is prepared to clamp down on all illegal miners and pursue legal action against them.
