Illegal miners have taken over farmlands and streams that feed into the Black Volta, denying farmers their right to farm in Tumtumba in the Bole-Bamboi Municipality of the Savannah Region.
Opinion leaders say attempts to stop the miners have been met with death threats, forcing residents to retreat.
They accuse some party executives of backing the illegal activities involving Chinese and Ghanaian nationals.
The Yonkamba Stream, a tributary of the Black Volta, has been blocked for mining and turned into muddy sludge.
Farmers are now deprived of clean water for their agricultural activities. They are calling on the President to intervene and save his hometown.
