Wassa East District, Western Region – The Daboase-Wassa Ateiku Highway is on the verge of collapse due to rampant galamsey activities taking place along both sides of the road. Eyewitnesses report that excavators are freely crossing the highway, posing a significant threat to motorists and the structural integrity of the road.
According to sources, the illegal mining operations have been ongoing for weeks, with excavators and other heavy machinery traversing the highway to access mining sites on either side. This has led to significant damage to the road surface and raised concerns about the potential for accidents and environmental degradation.
The situation has sparked fears among local residents and commuters, who are calling on authorities to take swift action to address the issue. “We are living in fear of our lives,” said one resident. “The road is our lifeline, and if it collapses, it will have devastating consequences for our community.”
District authorities have been urged to take immediate action to halt the galamsey activities and protect the highway. The incident highlights the ongoing struggle to combat illegal mining in the region and the need for sustained efforts to address this critical issue.
