Communities fear eviction following discovery of minerals
Communities residing in areas targeted for mineral explorations and development of resort cities are living in fear of being displaced, a new survey shows. Land experts have, however, assured them that there is no need to panic as the country has new legal mechanisms to adequately address their concerns.
