Galamsey fight: Operation Water Shield has reduced changfans on Tano River - NAIMOS Spokesperson
The number of changfans operating on the Tano River has significantly reduced following sustained anti-illegal mining operations by the National Anti-Illegal Mining Operations Secretariat (NAIMOS), Spokesperson for NAIMOS, Paa Kwesi Schandorf has disclosed.
The National Anti-Illegal Mining Operations Secretariat (NAIMOS) has reported a significant reduction in the number of changfans operating on the Tano River following sustained anti-illegal mining operations under Operation Water Shield. Spokesperson Paa Kwesi Schandorf confirmed this development during a visit on October 30, where 15 journalists observed the impact of these operations firsthand.
While the reduction in changfans is a positive step, NAIMOS spokesperson emphasized that restoring the river's water quality is a more complex process that requires ongoing efforts. The spokesperson also cautioned against expecting immediate improvements in water quality, stating that this intervention is merely a starting point in the broader initiative to reclaim the Tano River.
NAIMOS plans to continue its surveillance and coordinate further actions with the Lands and Natural Resources Minister, Emmanuel Armah-Kofi Buah, as part of the government's commitment to restoring Ghana's water bodies.
