Inchaban (W/R)-Ghana, Nov. 25, GNA – Mr. Ebenezer Dadzie, the District Chief Executive of Shama, has appealed to chiefs and custodians of lands to reserve farmlands for agriculture purposes rather than giving them out for sand and clay winning.

He said it was unfortunate that arable lands were being used for sand winning and other illegal mining activities.
