Kabale RDC orders iron ore crushers to adopt wet-crushing to curb dust pollution after residents' complaints

Kabale Resident District Commissioner Maj Godfrey Katamba said he had instructed the district natural resources department to make iron ore processors put in place measures controlling air and water pollution, according to the Daily Monitor. The move followed complaints from residents of Kamuganguzi Sub-county about dust from crushing equipment. He said the equipment had not been closed because of the mining sector's economic importance.
