Photos of Chereponi after downpour and spillage of the Bagre Dam

A number of communities in the North East Region have become inaccessible following days of downpour and the subsequent spillage of water from the Bagre dam.

Sources say Chereponi, Kpasinkpe, and some other communities in the Mamprugu and Moaduru District cannot be accessed except through Bolgatanga in the Upper East Region.

Also, the Adali Brigde in the Chereponi District has been damaged, making it difficult for people in the area to cross to other communities.

Speaking to JoyNews’ Eliasu Tanko, the North East Regional Director of the National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO), John Kweku Alhassan said the situation has made it impossible for the Organisation to deliver relief items to most of the locals who have been trapped by the flood.
