News from the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe officials has confirmed that the Camp of the Sacred Stones rose up to around two thousand five hundred.

The project involving the approval of the U.S Army Corps of Engineers is highlighted for further scrutiny without any other environmental examination at the end of July.

The 1,172-mile-long pipeline, which worth about $3.8 billion came under protest by a few dozen Native Americans last week.

The pipeline project is meant to cross right through their sacred land.

The few dozen increased to around two thousand five hundred as inform spread to more Native Americans.

A slight success was discovered due to the large turnout of the people. Nevertheless, the operators of the four-state oil pipeline accepted to stop construction until further information from the federal government in the upcoming week.

The Native Americans emerging from the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe have stayed focus irrespective of the pressure applied by the federal government and the Dallas-based Energy Transfer Partners.

The federal hearing placed a tough regulation on Tuesday on the protesters preventing them from disturbing Energy Transfer Partners from operating on the given project.

The restraining order remains a combine effort of all federal, state, and local approvals.
