Filth chokes Korle drains as residents appeal for urgent action

Heaps of refuse have engulfed sections of the Korle drains in Accra, sparking concerns among traders and residents over poor sanitation and the increasing risk of flooding. Residents and traders in the area blame the situation on the indiscriminate disposal of waste by some aboboyaa riders, kayayei, and residents of Old Fadama, saying the practice has left portions of the drainage system heavily clogged.
