Following a torrential downpour on Monday morning, Accra, Ghana\u2019s capital, experienced yet another bout of flooding.<\/p>\n
The deluge led to severe congestion on roads, leaving numerous corporate workers, traders, students, and motorists stranded and soaked.<\/p>\n
In areas like Pokuase, Achimota, Odawna, Tesano, and Alajo, motorists were compelled to pull over along the roadside, seeking refuge from the relentless rain.<\/p>\n

Busy vehicles have lined up in the immovable trail of traffic, with others having to walk to get to their destinations, slowing the zeal to face the second week in May.<\/p>\n
Sadly, but true, it has become the norm for Accra to be submerged in flood, even after the slightest drizzle of rain. As though not enough, many have taken advantage of the menace, to dump their garbage into the waters, to be carried away.<\/p>\n
\nSome parts of Accra have experienced flooding due to heavy rains due to Monday\u2019s heavy downpour.<\/p>\n
Strong winds have also uprooted trees, blocking roads and disrupting traffic flow in some areas. Please prioritize your safety!<\/p>\n

This may not be the first or probably the last, since the drainage systems in most parts of Accra are choked with plastics, wrappers and cans, overflowing with rubbish and raising a potential cause of an outbreak.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
