Jakarta: Work halted at Martabe gold mine after complaints

Hong Kong-listed gold producer G-Resources Group Ltd. (G-Resources) has called a stop to the installation of pipes to carry waste to Batang Toru River, South Tapanuli, North Sumatra, following protests from local residents. 

Residents oppose the company’s plan to install a 2.7-kilometer waste pipe in the area, saying that the idea of disposing liquid waste into the river could pose a serious threat to the environment and their livelihoods.
