KOTA BARU: Stagnant floodwaters in some parts of Kelantan cannot be avoided during the rainy season as the capacity of the existing pumps to drain water is limited.

State Drainage and Irrigation Department (DID) director Kamal Mustapha said the department’s 15 mobile pumps could only do that much to reduce the volume of water as quickly as possible.
