KUALA KRAI: Berat mata memandang, berat lagi bahu yang memikulnya - itu keadaan yang dialami hampir 200 penduduk Kampung Mial, di sini, apabila sekurang-kurang 37 rumah telah ditenggelami banjir hingga paras bumbung.
Setakat ini, kampung berkenaan sudah dinaiki air mencecah lebih lima meter (m) susulan hujan lebat berterusan sejak beberapa hari lalu.
Penduduk, Hanapi Ali, 64, berkata lebih-lebih lagi kampung berkenaan dikelilingi sungai menyebabkan limpahan airnya memenuhi kawasan penempatan itu.
Katanya, hasil tinjauan dilakukan penduduk sendiri mendapati 37 daripada 60 kediaman di kampung itu hanya tinggal nampak bumbung, setakat pagi semalam.
Malah, beliau berkata, penduduk di beberapa perkampungan juga terputus hubungan selepas jambatan yang menjadi laluan utama untuk ke Bandar Kuala Krai ditenggelami banjir.
"Situasi banjir kali ini adalah di luar jangkaan. Penduduk berharap hujan segera reda kerana bimbang kejadian bencana sama 10 tahun lalu kembali berulang," katanya.
Hanapi memaklumkan, rumahnya ialah antara kediaman yang ditenggelami banjir hingga ke paras bumbung, dan beliau sekeluarga kini berlindung di Pusat Pemindahan Sementara (PPD) Balai Raya Kampung Mial.
"Bagaimanapun, kami sekeluarga reda dengan ujian daripada Allah SWT dan berharap keadaan kembali seperti biasa dalam masa terdekat," katanya.
KOTA BHARU: Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) menafikan dakwaan akan melepaskan air Empangan Pergau seperti yang tular di media sosial.
TNB Careline menerusi Facebook memaklumkan setakat ini paras air Empangan Pergau masih terkawal.
"TNB ingin memaklumkan bahawa mesej tular yang kononnya Empangan Pergau, Kelantan akan melepaskan air adalah tidak benar. "Pada masa ini, paras air di empangan Pergau berada pada paras normal dan terkawal.
"Pengurusan stesen juga memaklumkan status terkini empangan kepada agensi-agensi kerajaan yang berkaitan dan Jawatankuasa Bencana Daerah Jeli," katanya.
Katanya, orang ramai dinasihatkan supaya tidak menyebarkan maklumat palsu yang boleh menimbulkan kegusaran di kalangan masyarakat.
