The Ghana Railway Development Authority has raised serious safety worries about the Tema-Mpakadan Railway Line. These concerns come after a recent accident.
On July 30, a passenger train collided with six goats that were on the railway tracks. This event highlights ongoing issues that put safety at risk.
Frederick Appoh, the Chief Executive Officer of GRDA, spoke about the problems. He mentioned that people are building on land meant for the railway. Others are vandalizing railway property.
Appoh also noted that some individuals deliberately obstruct train operations. These actions create dangerous situations for passengers and railway staff.
The GRDA is working to address these threats. They are looking for ways to prevent further incidents and ensure the line's safety.
The authority is urging the public to respect railway property and avoid trespassing. Safe railway operations depend on community cooperation.
