Two toshaos yesterday pleaded with the Government to intervene in the Chinese Landing mining dispute that has seen threats against residents of the Indigenous community.
Concerned for the residents of Chinese Landing, Vivian Edwards, the Toshao of Waramuri in Region One, took the opportunity at yesterday’s discussion with the Ministry of Natural Resources at the National Toshaos Conference (NTC), to plead with the government to act against threats meted out to residents of Chinese Landing also in Region One who voiced concerns over mining operations being done on the community’s titled lands.
“I am asking the government to act on this [the threats] before it gets worse and out of hand,” Edwards said.
