The government will from March 2020 withdraw the military component of its anti illegal mining task force, Operation Vanguard, from the field.
Citi News sources at the Inter Ministerial Commmittee on Illegal Mining explained that this is because, so far over 1000 small scale miners have been vetted and cleared to mine under environmentally friendly laws.
