Rain: Mabira closes out passersby

Apr 16, 2018

Ugandans in different parts of the country woke up to a heavy down pour. Whereas thanks to the rain, the consequences have been far reaching as to halt traffic and affect daily operations.

The treasured Mabira Forest on the Jinja Road highway on Monday morning closed off travellers from both Jinja and Mukono.

This followed a heavy downpour in the wee hour of the morning that left trees falling into the road, blocking flow of traffic.

Away from Mabira, the rain resulted in consequences that were far reaching as to cause flooding and affect daily operations.
