Binduri: Nafkoliga residents living in fear as fish die in dam

Residents of Nafkoliga, a community in the Binduri District of Ghana's Upper East Region, are living in fear as fish continue to die mysteriously in a local dam that serves as a vital water source. The dam, constructed in 1956, plays a crucial role in supporting agriculture and livestock in the area, as well as providing a habitat for fish farming. However, the unexplained deaths of fish in the dam have left residents anxious and uncertain about the cause, with no clear answers from the authorities.

Assembly Member Ayariga Karim expressed the residents' concerns, stating that they are living in fear due to the unknown reason behind the fish deaths. Until the cause of the problem is identified, residents have taken precautionary measures by restricting their domestic animals from accessing the dam water. The Binduri District Agriculture Officer, Abugri Razak Abangiba, has visited the community to offer guidance while the Upper East Regional fisheries authorities work to determine the cause of the issue.

This incident has raised significant concerns among the residents who rely on the dam for their agricultural and livestock needs, as they eagerly await more information from the relevant authorities.
