It was not immediately known how long the affected water tributary and the immediate farmland and vegetation would remain toxic considering the massive volume of cyanide-treated waste that flooded down the mountain slope.
But local residents said that whatever life that used to teem in the water tributary such as shrimps and edible snails have been wiped out.
They also said that water springs along the contaminated tributary could no longer be used as source of drinking water.
