It also has dangerous ramifications for our bituminous roads that are constructed with the nation&#8217;s scarce resources.<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nThe National Disaster Management Organization is therefore cautioning all and sundry, especially New Year revelers, to stay away from this dangerous practice. <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nWe want to encourage all to work hard with determination wherever they find themselves as that is the surest way to guarantee progress and prosperity. <\/p>\n<p>&#8230;..Signed&#8230;..<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nEric Nana Agyeman-Prempeh<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 43 updated by: 43 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>General News of Sunday, 31 December 2017 Source: www.ghanaweb.com 2017-12-31 The press release by NADMO reiterated the cons of burning used tyres A press release by the National Disaster Management Organization (NADMO) has cautioned Ghanaians, specifically New Year celebrants, against the burning of used tyres.
