Flood Mitigation Task Force begins phased dredging, desilting and demolition exercise across various locations in Accra
In an interview, Coordinator of the Flood Mitigation Task Force, Brigadier General Forster Okae-Yeboah, said illegal developments had severely restricted the natural flow of water.
At the Tesa Dam, adjacent to Boundary Road in East Legon, the Flood Mitigation Task Force demolished structures built along the banks of the dam as encroachment has narrowed the natural waterway.
The exercise involves removing heavy silt deposits to restore the dam's storage capacity and improve the free flow of water, with the aim of reducing flood risk along the Motorway, East Legon and surrounding communities.
