Ho Assembly demolishes illegal structures to check flooding in Ho

The Ho Municipal Assembly has started pulling down buildings built along to local waterways in the area.

After significant drainage systems overflowed due to severe rains, flooding in multiple stores and residential areas occurred, prompting the decision to remove the buildings.

Some impacted residents were forced to seek shelter in other people’s homes.

In an interview with the media, the regional director of the National Disaster Management Organization (NADMO), Ivy Amewuga, said that her team is now determining the extent of the flooding’s damage.

She stated that in order to identify how many people are impacted, they are gathering an evaluation report and taking the required steps.

“As to the causes, we realised that some people had structures on waterways, and it is the duty of the Assembly to ensure that those structures are pulled down and so the action will begin, and we will follow closely to ensure that those structures are pulled down,” Madam Ivy added.
