The Member of Parliament for the Talensi Daniel Dung Mahama, on Monday, 1st September 2025, visited the Pwalugu community to assess farmlands affected by the Bagre Dam spillage.
During the visit, he observed that residents and farmers were generally adhering to safety and precautionary measures put in place.
The inspection was conducted in the company of the District NADMO Director, Bismark Asugre Farouq, and his team.
Mr. Farouq reported that regular monitoring has ensured that farmers comply with directives, particularly the instruction to stay away from the rising water while attempting to salvage farm produce. Hon. Mahama commended the cooperation of residents and farmers in safeguarding lives and property.
The MP further tasked the NADMO Director to conduct a comprehensive assessment of access areas.
This directive, he noted, is to make it possible for him to conduct a team he is working to bring down to the Constituency round some of the affected areas for them to see at firsthand, the extent of damage the spillage has caused to livelihoods, to aid in policy planning and intervention in this regard.
According to Michael Nangena
