So you see this is the problem, these guys are well established with machines, plants. Then when they wash the gold, they now discharge the water through the second plant into the river," the officer said. The military officer charged, “So this is the main problem, the guys are operating beyond 100 metres from the river, yet their establishment is causing so much destruction to the river. Even this one that we are seeing here is one kilometre from the river but yet they are the ones causing the mayhem. They are the very people destroying the river more than those with the smaller machines.
