Photos: Flood Mitigation Task Force begins phased dredging, demolition exercise in Accra
Acting on President John Mahama's directive, the Flood Mitigation Task Force has commenced a phased dredging and demolition exercise across parts of Accra to reclaim waterways and reduce the risk of flooding ahead of future rains.
According to the Task Force, the initiative forms part of a long-term flood prevention strategy and is not a one-time operation.
The first phase of the operation has targeted New England, areas behind Mayfair Garden Estates, the Tesa Dam enclave in East Legon, and Oyarifa, where illegal structures obstructing natural drainage channels and dam banks have been demolished.
