Despite several attempts by Stabroek News, the Guyana Geology and Mines Commission (GGMC) has remained mum about reported damage to riverbanks by miners.
In a letter published in Stabroek News (SN) on November 29, Major General (Retd), Joseph Singh said that on October 17, he informed the relevant regulatory and enforcement agencies about damage on the Potaro and Essequibo rivers and submitted the photographic evidence.
He was informed that actions would be taken to deal with the obvious breaches of the regulations.
