The Ministry of Railway Development is in talks with other stakeholders to set up a taskforce that will help clamp down on illegal trading activities on rail lines in the Accra metropolis. The taskforce will, among others, help prevent traders from encroaching on the Accra rail line and also bring offenders to book. After clearing encroachers from the stretch of the rail line, the Ghana Railway Development Company built a wall to prevent further trading activities there. Following that appeal, Mr Ghartey had been engaging key stakeholders on the way forward to bring sanity to the area. “We have cleared more than 95 per cent of the squatters along the Accra rail line, and we will clear the rest soon,” he stressed.
