The Techiman Municipal Assembly says steps are been instituted to cleanse the Tano River at the Bono-East Region to avert crisis following the poisoning of the River.

This follows an accident that occurred at Tanoso involving an articulator truck loaded with car batteries from Accra to Tamale yesterday, January 13 2020. 

The articulator truck tumbled and fell into the river with all its contents leading to the contamination of the river. 

The acid in the battery diluted the water resulting in the death of several aquatic animals including fishes and crocodiles.
