Railway Authority invites cattle sellers' leaders for emergency meeting after train-cattle incident
Ghana Railway Company Limited confirmed that the train involved in the incident has been fully cleared and restored to service after being temporarily halted due to an accident involving stray cattle on the railway line. Daniel Asiedu, a member of the Railway Company, explained that engineers worked for several hours to restore normal operations, and stated, "The train has been brought back onto the track after midday following the incident. Operations have now resumed."
The management has invited leaders of cattle sellers to an emergency meeting. Mr. Asiedu noted that the incident, which involved a train colliding with stray cattle that had strayed onto the railway corridor, raises serious safety concerns. Eyewitnesses described how the train came to an abrupt stop following the collision. Some residents and commuters have called for strict enforcement measures against owners of stray cattle. One commuter said, "This is becoming too frequent. Authorities must punish people who allow their cattle to roam onto railway lines."
The leaders of the cattle sellers have been invited for a meeting on Friday at 10am. The purpose of the meeting is "to find a lasting solution and prevent such incidents from happening again."
