Four individuals were injured in a violent clash between traders and the Awutu Senya East Municipal Assembly's task force during a decongestion exercise in the Kasoa Central Business District (CBD) on Wednesday, May 28.
The confrontation, according to a report by citinewsroom.com, occurred on the third day of the assembly's operation to clear pedestrian walkways of unauthorised structures.
The exercise, which proceeded smoothly on its first two days, turned chaotic when members of the Kasoa Phone Dealers Association resisted the removal of tents they had erected on walkways.
Tensions escalated, leading to traders hurling stones at the task force as they attempted to dismantle the structures.
