A raging fire has once again swept through a section of the Techiman Central Market in the Bono East Region, exactly a month after a similar inferno destroyed hundreds of structures.
The latest fire outbreak, which occurred late at night, reduced several shops and stalls to ashes, leaving traders devastated.
Eyewitnesses reported that the flames spread rapidly, consuming goods worth thousands of Ghana cedis before firefighters arrived to bring the situation under control.
Many traders, still recovering from last month’s disaster, have been left in shock and frustration as they count their losses.
Officials from the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) responded swiftly to the incident, working tirelessly to contain the blaze and prevent further destruction.
However, the cause of the fire is yet to be determined, with investigations currently underway.
Some affected traders have called on the government and local authorities to improve fire safety measures at the market, citing the repeated outbreaks as a major threat to their livelihoods.
