To this effect, we welcome the  initiative to undertake environmental compliance audits of the mining  industry to ensure that compliance is uniformly achieved and enforced  throughout the mining sector. Over the last days, several mining  companies in the country have been targeted, including Lydian's  Amulsar Project, with protests manifested by road blockages  disrupting operations. The protests at Amulsar led to peaceful  counter-protests by Lydian employees and company supporters from the  communities demanding from the protesters to restore their right to  work. The protesters have been alleging deficiencies in environmental  compliance and inconsistent hiring practices. Lydian has an  established grievance procedure and encourages all stakeholders, to  formally communicate specific concerns and grievances to the company  and thereby achieve resolutions that are mutually acceptable.  Presently, all access roads to Amulsar's project are open, workers  have returned to site, and construction activities are returning to  normal.
