No new sand mining permits for Sungai Linggi, says Negri MB


SEREMBAN: No new sand mining permits will be issued along Sungai Linggi as the authorities take tougher measures to restore the quality of the river water and ensure treated water supply to Port Dickson was not disrupted, says Datuk Seri Aminuddin Harun.

This, the Negri Sembilan Mentri Besar said, was necessary as the Sungai Linggi water treatment plant had to be closed on several occasions recently causing disruption in treated water supply to the resort town and its surrounding areas.
