Clean-up around Ba Town continues following widespread flooding

Clean-up around Ba Town continues today with the help of soldiers from the RFMF and firefighters.

The Ba Town Council says they are continuing to clean debris, mud and silt from the Ba market.

The Ba Bus Stand has been cleaned and is now operational.

Teams are also helping clean up the affected area near Shop and Save and Newworld supermarkets.

Shops across main street Ba Town were inundated with floodwaters for over two days over the weekend and into early Monday morning.

The Ba river also burst its banks on Sunday.

Parents and teachers of the Votua Catholic School in Ba have come together to clean their school after flood waters entered almost all the classrooms.

They say they are doing it for their children.

Some other classrooms in the school which are on higher ground are being used as evacuation centres
