Over 250 Lunas villagers hit by flash floods

More than 250 residents of 10 villages in Lunas have been affected by flash floods due to heavy rain from 2 pm to 8 pm yesterday.

Lunas state assemblyman Azman Nasrudin said all the victims were placed at two flood relief centres opened at the Sungai Seluang Mosque and Taman Sang Kancil Surau.

"The main road connecting Padang Serai and Lunas was also flooded, denying access to two villages, namely Kampung Nagalilit and Kampung Permatang Durian," he said during a briefing session last night.

The 10 affected villages are Kampung Sungai Seluang Atas, Kampung Sungai Seluang Bawah, Kampung Paya Serdang, Kampung Bukit Sarang Ayam, Kampung Balik Bukit, Kampung Batu 7, Kampung Permatang Durian, Kampung Permatang Tok Dik, Kampung Naga Lilit and Kampung Sungai Limau - Taman Kancil.

"We have planned a range of measures, including providing immediate relief assistance such as food supplies, blankets and mats to the victims," Azman said.
