NAKHON RATCHASIMA: About 150 farmers rallied at the Thao Suranari monument in Muang district on Monday demanding the closure of a potash mine they allege has discharged wastewater onto their land, reducing their harvests.
The farmers were from three tambons – Nong Bua Takiat, Nong Sai and Non Muang Pattana – in Dan Khun Thot district.
They said they had been affected by a potash mine operated under a 25-year (2015-2040) concession by Thai Kali Co. The potash concession covers about 9,000 rai in the three tambons.
