YILO KROBO MUNICIPAL ASSEMBLY CONDUCTS EVACUATION EXERCISE AT AKUTUNYA MARKET

The Yilo Krobo Municipal Assembly, in collaboration with the Zoomlion, conducted an evacuation exercise at the Akutunya Market container site. The operation aimed to clear the area of accumulated waste and debris, improving sanitation and reducing health risks for market users.

The joint exercise underscores the Assembly’s commitment to maintaining clean and safe public spaces across the municipality. By targeting the container site — a known hotspot for waste accumulation — authorities sought to address longstanding concerns raised by traders and shoppers about the state of sanitation at the market.

The exercise is part of a broader effort to enforce sanitation regulations and promote a culture of cleanliness in public markets.

Officials have urged traders and the general public to take responsibility for waste management by disposing of refuse appropriately and refraining from dumping at unauthorized sites. The Assembly emphasized that regular clean-up exercises would continue as part of its ongoing sanitation agenda.
