Apexnewsgh.com has gathered that thousands of farmlands along the White Volta have been submerged following the spillage of Bagre Dam from neighboring Burkina Faso, making it difficult for passengers from Bawku west crossing to Binduri and Garu districts through the Timonde route. Currently, passengers along that route are stranded.
“It took me 45minutes to be able to cross to Nafkoliga from Timonde with the canoe”.
However, it is said that another man’s food is another man’s poison.
The situation has created a lucrative transport business for the canoe user in the area.
According to one of the stranded victims who registered his displeasure to Apexnewsgh.com
“It used to be ghc2 per person and with a motorbike is ghc10 but now it has risen because of the level of the water to ghc10 per person and with a motorbike gh30.
However, this year’s affected farmers have complained that they did not receive any form of alert from those responsible to enable them to harvest some of their already matured farm produced.
