Rainstorm hits Builsa District

Sandema (U/E), April 18, GNA - Several houses, including schools in Sandema in the Builsa District, were damaged when a rainstorm hit the district.

Bungalows of police personnel and nurses, the Sandema Senior High School and churches had their roofs ripped off. Mr. Thomas Kofi Alonsi, District Chief Executive of Builsa District, advised the people to plant trees around their houses to serve as wind break.

He said the assembly had already planned its budget for the year and would not be able to assist the victims and appealed to non-governmental organizations and philanthropists to assist the affected people.
