The Ghana Armed Forces have begun the fourth phase of Operation Halt II.
The exercise involves some of 401 “men of all ranks”.
A statement issued by the Information Ministry said the fourth phase of Operation Halt II, which has already commenced is “aimed at removing all persons and logistics involved in mining from water bodies”.
“The new phase of the operation focuses on the Ankobra River and its tributaries. The operation is being undertaken by four hundred and one men of all ranks”.
The statement said the phase 3 of the exercise ended with a total of 49 excavators, 228 Changfans and 87 water pumping machines, and other equipment destroyed.
The public is, therefore, “advised to stay away from mining bodies to avoid any action by the forces”.
