Residents of Aflao in the Volta Region have embarked on a demonstration to register their displeasure over bad roads in the area.

According to them, the road, which leads to the Diamond Cement, has been in a deplorable state for a very long time, posing danger to residents.

The demonstrators, wearing protest regalia, chanted songs in an attempt to notify authorities of their plight.

A resident in an interview said all attempts to get authorities to fix the road have proved futile, hence the demonstration.

He vowed they will not rest but will continue to demonstrate and hold press conferences until they get results.

“We are leaving no stone unturned and everyday will be an ultimatum for the government to fix the road as soon as possible,” he said.
