The Weija-Gbawe Municipal Assembly in Ghana is preparing to demolish structures constructed on waterways and within the designated buffer zone of the Densu River. Municipal Chief Executive Felix Odartey Lamptey confirmed the planned exercise, indicating notices have already been issued to those affected. The demolition aims to address construction obstructing natural drainage and potentially exacerbating flood risks. This action is focused on properties built illegally within protected areas surrounding the river. Authorities have not yet specified a timeline for the demolition, but it is expected to commence shortly. The move underscores efforts to safeguard the Densu River and mitigate environmental hazards in the municipality.
