Sad to read about the damage that has been done all these years. Stalagmites and stalactites are very sensitive. It takes hundreds or thousands of years for them to grow so it's not advisable to touch the live ones. The natural oils on our fingers can peel away the minerals that are helping them grow.

Oh, I should not have touched it. Thank you for this information, we don't really know that they are sensitive.
We are hoping that the caves will be given protection by the local government.
