Heavy rains leave parts of Accra flooded

Several parts of the capital, Accra have been flooded after a few hours of heavy rains on Thursday.

Some of the worst affected areas are Kaneshie, Circle Legon and surrounding communities.

This is the umpteenth time Accra is experiencing such floods anytime there is a downpour.

Videos on social media showed that some private and commercial vehicles had been trapped in the waters, leaving passengers in a distressing situation.

The situation is no different at market centres and residential homes as occupants have also been trapped.

Drains have been engulfed with heaps of rubbish – blocking the free flow of water.

Today’s floods have renewed calls on city authorities to take drastic measures in tackling a myriad of challenges affecting Accra.

Despite the government’s assurances to address the perennial flooding and its associated challenges, nothing major seems to have been done in that regard.
