SHAH ALAM: Jabatan Pengairan dan Saliran (JPS) membentangkan pelan tindakan dan langkah segera bagi menangani isu banjir di tiga kawasan kritikal di Selangor.
Kawasan itu melibatkan Taman Sri Muda, Shah Alam; Meru, Klang dan Taman Seri Alam, Sungai Buloh.
Exco Infrastruktur dan Pertanian negeri, Datuk Izham Hashim berkata, beliau mempengerusikan mesyuarat koordinasi khas bersama JPS dan pihak terlibat bagi membincangkan isu itu semalam.
Jelas beliau, JPS membentangkan perancangan jangka masa panjang, sederhana dan langkah bagi menangani isu banjir di tiga kawasan tersebut.
“Saya tekankan berkali-kali bahawa kerajaan Persekutuan dan kerajaan negeri sedang membuat pelbagai langkah mitigasi banjir jangka panjang sebagai penyelesaian muktamad banjir. Namun, langkah segera yang boleh diselesaikan dalam masa beberapa hari mesti dilaksanakan sedaya upaya,” katanya hari ini.
Menurut Izham, langkah penyelesaian segera banjir di Meru antaranya melibatkan penyelenggaraan parit atau longkang tidak bertuan.
“Selain itu, ia meliputi pemasangan ‘Flap Gate’ di Sungai Binjai dan mengaktifkan operasi ‘booster pump’ di lokasi sama. Pengalihan utiliti di dalam sungai itu turut akan dilakukan,” ujarnya.
Kata beliau, penyelesaian di Taman Sri Muda pula meliputi menaik taraf sistem saliran dalaman ke tahap perlindungan lebih tinggi.
“Ia juga antaranya melibatkan pembesaran kolam takungan, pengukuhan ban tanah di tebing Sungai Klang dan pembinaan ban sama di tebing Sungai Rasau. Selain itu, kita memfokuskan penguatkuasaan pencerobohan tanah rizab tepi sungai dan pengalihan kabel utiliti atau paip yang menghalang longkang serta menaik taraf sistem automasi pintu kawalan air,” katanya.
Tambah Izham, JPS turut membentangkan status kemajuan kerja pembaikan Kolam Takungan Banjir Hillpark, Puncak Alam yang pecah lagi kali kedua sehingga mengakibatkan banjir di Taman Seri Alam semalam.
“Pihak Hillpark Resources melalui perbincangan bersama JPS dan persatuan penduduk taman itu mencadangkan beberapa langkah segera bagi mengatasi masalah kolam takungan pecah ini. Langkah-langkah segera akan dilaksanakan serta merta pada minggu ini dan saya akan turun ke Klang dan Taman Seri Alam dalam masa terdekat bagi memantau perkara yang dipersetujui itu,” katanya. – UTUSAN

Beliau berkata demikian pada Majlis Aidilfitri Bersama Usahawan Hijrah Selangor di Seksyen 7 di sini hari ini.
Terdahulu beliau dan seorang lagi usahawan, Azrim Shaari,52, menerima bantuan Inisiatif Kasih Hijrah sebanyak RM2,000 seorang daripada Exco Pembangunan Belia & Kemajuan Sukan, Pemberdayaan Usahawan & Ekonomi Kreatif, Pengurusan Bencana Selangor, Mohd. Najwan Mohd. Halimi.

PETALING JAYA: The veterinary services department (DVS) and the environment department (DoE) in Perak have launched a probe into allegations of pollution affecting Sungai Bidor.
The pollution was claimed to be due to pig and duck farming activities near Jalan Bruseh near Bidor, Sinar Harian reported.
State executive councillor A Sivanesan said both departments had visited the farms in question to assess the situation.
The human resources, health, Indian community affairs and national integration committee chairman said the departments also took water samples for analysis, including for testing the biochemical oxygen demand (BOD).
“Samples were taken from both the pig and duck farms. Investigations found that the pig farm complies with the required regulations. Effluent samples from the final discharge point and the drainage channel leading to the river have also been sent for lab analysis.
“As for the duck farm, investigations revealed it does not use a pond system for rearing ducks, and therefore no wastewater is being discharged from the site,” he told a press conference at Bangunan Perak Darul Ridzuan today.
Also present at the press conference was state science, environment, and green technology committee chairman Teh Kok Lim.
Sivanesan said the results and full analysis are expected next week and will be assessed in accordance with the state’s Pig Farming Control Enactment 1992.
“Based on sampling records from last year and January this year, the BOD readings from the pig farm complied with the minimum discharge limit of less than 50 parts per million.
“All pig farms in Perak are currently implementing the modern pig farming system, which practises zero discharge. DVS conducts biannual sampling to ensure compliance.”
He also noted that the DoE, through its environmental quality monitoring programme, found that water quality at three manual monitoring stations along Sungai Bidor fell within Class I and II – indicating clean water categories.
“The most recent test conducted in February showed that Sungai Bidor remained at the Class II level. The department will continue monitoring and conducting in-situ testing to determine the river’s water quality index,” he added.
The issue of pig farms has become a central point for Perikatan Nasional in its campaign for the Ayer Kuning state seat by-election in Perak, with concerns raised over their presence in a predominantly Malay area.
Malaysiakini yesterday reported PAS vice-president Idris Ahmad as claiming to have evidence proving that Sungai Bidor had suffered pollution due to a nearby pig farm. He said water samples from the river had been sent to a private lab for testing.
Sivanesan previously dismissed PAS’s allegations of widespread illegal pig farming in the state, stating that all 85 farms were licensed by DVS.
SHAH ALAM: The Selangor government will implement 11 immediate flood mitigation measures at flood-prone areas, such as Taman Sri Muda, Meru and Taman Seri Alam, in the state.
State Infrastructure and Agriculture Committee chairman Datuk Ir Izham Hashim said the decision was reached at a special coordination meeting held yesterday between state executive councillors, several assemblymen, related local authorities as well as government agencies such as the Selangor Public Works Department and the Department of Irrigation and Drainage (DID).
The DID presented long term and middle term plans along with immediate measures to tackle floods in the three areas during the meeting, he added.
“For Meru, unowned drains will be maintained and flag gates will be installed at Sungai Binjai as part of the Sungai Kapar Kecil and Sungai Kapar Besar flood mitigation plans. Booster pumps at Sungai Binjai will be activated as well,” he said in a statement here today.
For Taman Seri Muda, immediate measures taken include upgrading the aging drainage system to a higher level of protection, at least 20 average recurrence intervals for the entire area, he said.
“The damaged flap gate to Sungai Klang will also be replaced, and the Taman Sri Muda retention pond will be enlarged, with strengthening and upgrading of soil bunds at the banks of Sungai Klang and its construction along the banks of Sungai Rasau.
“Other measures include enforcement on trespassing on river land reserves and the shifting of utility cables and pipes that obstruct drains and the upgrade of the No 3 water control gate automated system,” Izham said, adding that the Selangor DID had also presented progress reports on the repair work done for the flood retention pond in Hillpark, Puncak Alam that broke for the second time, flooding Taman Seri Alam early yesterday morning.
He said Hillpark Resources had suggested several immediate measures to tackle the problem that will be implemented this week during discussions with the DID and residents’ association, adding that he would visit the area to chart the progress as well as the immediate and long-term measures agreed upon in the area.
