Baleh River logjam caused by heavy rain, says Sarawak Forest Dept

KUCHING: The floating debris which flowed down the Baleh River last weekend was triggered by heavy rain in the upper Baleh area, says the Sarawak Forest Department.

Its director Hamden Mohamed said the logjam incident was caused by the accumulation of wood debris at the Baleh dam project site which then came out through diversion channels into the Rajang River.
