Accra-Tema railway operations suspended

The suspension had become necessary because the company could not guarantee the safety of trains and passengers who used the track.

According to the Railway Ministry, the decision is to allow investigation into the derailment of an Accra bound train from Tema at the Santana Train Station on Monday.

The Ministry has set up a three-member committee to investigate the accident which left 5 persons injured.

The victims have since been sent to the hospital for treatment by some police recruits who were at the scene.
