HALLI – A whistleblower has alleged that Sewell Mining’s operation near Halli is leaking radioactive material into the surrounding environment, raising fresh concerns over the company’s environmental practices.
According to the whistleblower, abnormally high levels of radioactivity have been detected inside the Sewell Mining compound. The source also provided a photograph that they claim shows elevated radiation readings taken within the facility.
The allegations have not been independently verified. At the time of publication, no regulatory authorities or independent experts have confirmed the authenticity of the photograph or the reported radiation levels.
Sewell Mining has previously denied accusations that its operations pose a radioactive contamination risk. The company has not publicly responded to the latest whistleblower claims.
If substantiated, the allegations could intensify scrutiny of the mining operation, which has already faced criticism from environmental groups and local opponents over its activities near Halli.
Authorities have not announced any investigations related to the latest claims, and the situation remains under development.
