Nkruma-Pakyi (Ashanti Region) - Nkruma-Pakyi, a farming community in the Atwima District, has been cut off from the rest of the district following a heavy downpour.

The rains damaged the bridge spanning the Anwomasu River and made it unusable. Y. Iddrisu, Assembly Member for the area, said food crops produced in large quantities by the farmers are now locked up.

He said people who fall sick are carried for a distance of about five kilometres before they could join vehicles to Nkawie for treatment. Iddrisu appealed to the Department of Feeder Roads to take urgent steps to repair the bridge to end the suffering of the farmers.
