A video circulating on social media has sparked outrage and condemnation after capturing a Ghanaian citizen dumping trash onto a flooded street in Tesano during heavy rainfall.
In the video, the unidentified individual can be seen emptying rubbish from a dustbin directly onto the flooded street, despite the adverse weather conditions.
The act has drawn sharp criticism from social media users and residents alike, who have condemned the irresponsible behavior as detrimental to the environment and public health.
Dumping waste onto flooded streets poses serious environmental and sanitation risks, including the potential for blockages in drainage systems, water contamination, and the spread of waterborne diseases. Such actions also undermine efforts to maintain cleanliness and mitigate the impact of flooding in the community.
