Schools have been closed down, and scores of residents have been displaced at Bonsa in the Tarkwa Nsuaem Municipality as they continue to lose their homes to floods.
According to various opinion leaders, the increased illegal mining activities were responsible for this development.
They believe the course of River Bonsa has been redirected as a result of “galamsey” work in the municipality.
The District Coordinator of the National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO), Kenneth Mensah, told Citi News that water supply to parts of the municipality has also been cut as a result of the floods.
Mr. Mensah added, that most places in the municipality were flooded, halting schooling activities in the area.
