PASIR MAS: The dry spell that hit Kelantan in the past two weeks has caused the water level in Sungai Golok to drop to 3.58m, way below its normal level of 5m.

A check by Bernama in Rantau Panjang found that sandbanks could be seen in the middle of Sun­gai Golok which posed challenges to boat operators ferrying passengers from both sides of the river.
