Nearly 700 residents in some communities in the West Mamprusi district are bearing the brunt of torrential flooding that has wreaked havoc in the area.

Residents in the four communities in the North East Region were forced to evacuate on October 1, following the downpour from Wednesday evening to Thursday morning.

The two dams burst separately at Dimia and Guabluga Thursday morning after a heavy downpour.
Rising water levels inundated the communities sparking chaos as panicked residents ran helter-skelter to salvage what was they could.

The situation also caused the main Walewale-Nalerigu road to submerge. This leaving a never seen traffic on the busy highway with dozens of travelers and motorists stranded.

 

The Municipal Chief Executive who arrived at the scene could not control his tears as he explained the situation to JoyNews.
“What we’re trying to do is to send their [victims] items to the district assembly and look at the immediate help we can give in accommodating them. Once we look at how to divert the water, then we will find a lasting solution to the problem of the dam,” he said.

At the Banawa community, residents had to split the Nalerigu – Gambaga road. In order to divert the flow and to prevent it from reaching the municipal capital itself. “All our properties have been washed away”. Victims of the floods told JoyNews

“All is gone, we could not salvage anything and don’t know what to do. Here we are about 20 in the house but none of us could a thing and we are stranded. We need a temporary place to get dry for now. We will think of what to do next.” The municipal assembly has accommodated those affected in Walewale.
