V/R: RESIDENTS OF GLONU APPEAL TO GOVERNMENT FOR SUPPORT OVER SAND WINNING ACTIVITIES.
The residents of Glonu in the North Tongu Constituency of the Volta Region are appealing to the government to intervene and halt the sand winning activities that have overrun their community.
According to them, the illicit sand winning in the community has persisted for over eight years.
In an interview with Mr Freeman Silvanus, the opinion leader for the community, stated that there is a major river that serves as a link to other communities, and Chinese Nationals are operating with their machines on the river.
Mr. Freeman emphasized that the illicit activities have led to the killing of three individuals in the community by the Chinese Nationals, and all efforts to stop them have proven futile.
Mr. Silvanus asserted that their farmlands, crops, and rivers are being destroyed by the illicit sand winners.
The opinion leader underscored that the place was leased to Chinese Nationals by the previous administration, and they have security backing.
They are therefore calling on the current administration and relevant authorities to intervene, else they will take the law into their own hands.
