PASIR MAS, Nov 30 — Downtown Kota Baru is submerged in approximately two metres of water after Sungai Kelantan overflowed at Tambatan D’Raja.
Kelantan police chief Datuk Mohd Yusoff Mamat said the water level of the river, which started overflowing at midnight, is continuing to rise.
He announced that the police are prepared to evacuate affected individuals should the floods head toward the Temporary Relief Centres (PPS).
“The overflow occurred due to high tide in other areas, which converged with water from Sungai Kelantan,” he said during a special press conference at the Disaster Operations Control Centre at the Repek Police Station today. — Bernama
