The Ghana Railway Authority (GRA) has uncovered alarming infractions along the 97-kilometre Tema-Mpakadan railway, including encroachment by squatters and acts of vandalism that threaten the safety and efficiency of the soon-to-be-launched shuttle service.

With the shuttle set to become operational next month, officials are racing against time to resolve these issues before the first train rolls out.

During a recent inspection tour, the Acting Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Railway Authority, Dr.

Frederick Apoh, and his team discovered significant encroachment along the railway corridor in areas such as Tema, Ashaiman, Tulaku, and Afienya.
