The Operation Clean and Healthy Anambra (OCHA Brigade) conducted an enforcement exercise in the Idemili North area, specifically targeting the Mgbuka Obosi Market, where numerous shanties and illegal construction were removed. This initiative is part of a broader effort to ensure safety and compliance with regulations concerning structures built near high-tension power lines. The dangerous practice of erecting buildings and conducting trade in restricted areas poses notable risks to the public, prompting necessary action from local authorities.

Celestine Anere, the Managing Director of the OCHA Brigade, emphasized the agency's commitment to safeguarding lives and public infrastructure during the exercise. He reiterated that constructions or businesses operating too close to high-tension cables cannot be tolerated, as they can lead to severe safety hazards for the community. The enforcement actions serve as a stern warning against any disregard for government advisories related to safety protocols in high-risk areas.

This demolition effort not only addresses immediate safety concerns but also sets a precedent for future compliance with building regulations in Anambra. By taking such actions, the OCHA Brigade aims to deter illegal constructions and promote a safer environment for the residents and traders operating within the market area. The agency's stern warning against repeat offenders reinforces their dedication to public safety and regulatory adherence.
