Faced with threats of protest action by residents of Moblissa in Region 10 (Upper Demerara/Upper Berbice), Chinese logging firm, Bai Shan Lin, accused of mining illegally in the community yesterday met residents and made several commitments.
The company is accused of carrying out unlawful works at Moblissa, Linden and ignoring a Cease Work Order (CWO) served on it by the Guyana Geology and Mines Commission (GGMC) sometime ago.
While it was given a licence for logging, Bai Shan Lin has been removing laterite—a soil type rich in iron and aluminium—from Moblissa
