Namisindwa — More than 50 families have been forced to flee their homes in Bupoto Sub-county, Namisindwa District, after fresh cracks emerged following heavy rains, raising fears of a possible disaster. The latest cracks developed on Sunday as persistent rainfall continued to pound the area, leaving residents scrambling for safety and abandoning homes considered at risk of collapse.
The development comes just days after reports that more than 500 villages across Buwabwala, Bumumali, Tsekululu, Mukoto sub-counties, and Luwa Town Council were facing threats from massive landslide cracks and flooding. Last week, Namisindwa District Chairperson Emma Bwayo confirmed the situation after conducting a field assessment with local leaders in several affected communities.
