KUANTAN: Pahang Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Adnan Yaakob has ordered relevant government departments and agencies to immediately investigate allegations that the main cause for Sungai Pahang becoming shallow and dry was due to excessive logging in Hulu Tembeling.

Adnan said the probe was to determine whether the fall in the water level was caused by logging or because of other factors such as extreme hot weather due to the El Nino phenomenon currently sweeping the country.
