Accra July 21, GNA - A joint Military and Police taskforce to be deployed for anti-galamsey operations are under a training programme on 'Operation Halt Three' at the Bundase Military Camp at Prampram in the Greater Accra Region.
The training and deployment would seek to reverse the unbridled exploitation of the natural resources.
The taskforce made up of the Police, Army, Navy and Air force personnel would help salvage the polluted water sources, farmlands and forests caused by the activities of the illegal miners.
Speaking to the Ghana News Agency on Friday at the training grounds, Major Gariba Pabi, the Public Relations Officer of 'Operation Halt Three' said the two-week training programme formed part of the President's special initiative against galamsey.
He said the training would equip the force to be on the same frequency before the commencement of the operation as well as save lives of the individuals engaged in the activity.
Major Pabi said the taskforce to be positioned at all illegal mining areas would not relent on its purpose against illegal mining until the menace was halted.
He added that 'equipment impounded on the field would be handed over to the appropriate authorities for further actions to be taken".
