Hearts of many locals in Udon Thani’s Prachaksinlapakhom district are heavy because of a pending project to launch mining operations in their hometown area.
They are worried about possible pollution and adverse impacts on their health.
“To tell the truth, I don’t believe in the environmental impact assessment [EIA],” Manee Boonrawd said, speaking as a leader of a movement opposing the potash-mining plan.
