RESIDENTS of Belaga want the Sarawak government to address the social and environmental impacts caused by the construction of Bakun and Murum dams.
In an online meeting on climate change, which saw the participation of 80 people from several organisations, Persatuan Anak-Anak Daerah Belaga chairman Edward Agong Ajan said residents there had seen significant changes during and after the construction of the two dams.
