Hajiji said this after visiting PPS Dewan Datuk Seri Panglima Mohd Dun Banir, which currently housed 147 families comprising 412 victims here today.
Seven PPS had opened since the floods started here on March 7, providing shelter to 1,944 people from 614 families. Hajiji presented the assistance and spoke with the flood victims.
"I came here to meet with the victims and personally see the situation on the ground. I assured them that the government understood their predicament," he said in a statement.
The chief minister also visited the town here with district officer Mohd Nazri Ajun, in which some parts were still inundated.
Hajiji directed the Department of Irrigation and Drainage to clear all waterways, particularly drains, to mitigate flooding during this wet season.
He also visited the PPS at Dewan Kesenian Islam Membakut, one of four activated in the district, to present assistance to victims there. The Membakut PPS currently housed some 836 victims from 278 families.

KANGAR: Masa tindak balas (response time) Jabatan Bomba dan Penyelamat Malaysia (JBPM) Perlis terhadap insiden kecemasan menunjukkan pencapaian memberangsangkan apabila purata masa itu mencatatkan pengurangan pada dua bulan pertama tahun ini.
Ketua Pengarah JBPM Datuk Nor Hisham Mohammad berkata JBPM Perlis berjaya mengurangkan masa tindak balas kepada 10 minit 31 saat pada tempoh itu berbanding 11 minit 12 saat bagi jangka waktu sama tahun lepas.
“JBPM Perlis komited mempercepatkan masa tindak balas terhadap insiden kecemasan menerusi pelaksanaan persempadanan semula kawasan jagaan. Usaha memperbaiki penugasan balai bomba dan sempadan kawasan jagaan mula menunjukkan hasil positif apabila purata masa ini semakin menurun,“ katanya.
Beliau berkata demikian pada sidang media selepas menyempurnakan Majlis Penganugerahan Pingat Perkhidmatan Bomba dan Anugerah Perkhidmatan Cemerlang 2024 JBPM Perlis di sini hari ini, yang turut dihadiri Pengarah JBPM Perlis Wan Mohd Hamizi Wan Mohd Zin.
Nor Hisham berkata lima balai bomba beroperasi di Perlis dengan Balai Bomba dan Penyelamat (BBP) Kangar mencatatkan jumlah operasi tertinggi pada 2024 iaitu 347 kes diikuti BBP Padang Besar dan BBP Arau dengan masing-masing 254 kes.
Sementara itu beliau berkata tiga jentera baharu iaitu Compact Fire Rescue Tender akan ditempatkan di Perlis secara berperingkat iaitu pada April, Julai dan awal tahun depan dalam usaha mengatasi cabaran berkaitan masa tindak balas terutama di jalan kecil, laluan kampung berliku dan kawasan bendang.
“Jentera lebih ringan dan kecil, tetapi mampu membawa air membolehkan pergerakan ke lokasi kejadian dipercepatkan sekali gus dapat mengurangkan masa tindak balas serta jumlah kerugian,“ katanya.
PEKAN: Jabatan Bomba dan Penyelamat Malaysia (JBPM) Pahang berusaha menyekat kebakaran hutan paya gambut di Jalan Pekan-Nenasi dekat Sungai Miang, di sini daripada merebak ke kawasan lain.
Pengarah JBPM Pahang, Mohd Razam Taja Rahim, berkata kebakaran mula dikesan minggu lalu telah memusnahkan kira-kira enam hektar kawasan hutan paya gambut yang bersempadan dengan projek ladang kelapa sawit dan projek tanaman nanas penduduk.
Katanya, operasi memadam kebakaran kini dilakukan 42 anggota Balai Bomba Pekan dan Balai Bomba Peramu Pekan secara berterusan sejak kebakaran berkenaan dikesan berlaku pada awal Ramadan.
Beliau berkata, kawasan hutan Paya Gambut terbabit hampir setiap tahun berlaku kebakaran. Cuaca panas dan angin kencang berterusan menjadi faktor utama kebakaran mudah berlaku di kawasan terbabit.
