BALING: The number of victims who were evacuated due to the floods in Mukim Kupang on Thursday (July 28)increased to 58 people Friday (July 29) morning.
Baling Civil Defence Force deputy chief Lieutenant Dzulhaidy Mohd Khalil said the victims, involving 19 families, are from Kampung Padang Empang.
"They are being accommodated at the relief centre at Dewan Terbuka Kampung Padang Empang, which was opened at 9pm Thursday,” he said in a statement here Friday. He said the heavy rain for about three hours from 2pm Thursday had caused the water from Sungai Kupang to spill its banks and overflow into the low-lying residential areas.
"The continuous rain caused the river water to rise. Even the Bailey bridge in Kampung Iboi was closed to all vehicles last night," he said. - Bernama
