KUALA BERANG: The Terengganu Forestry Department has temporarily halted logging activities in the area near Kenyir Lake, said to be the cause of murky water at the Sungai Lasir waterfall.

State tourism, culture and information technology committee deputy chairman Sulaiman Sulong said it was understood that logging activities in an area about 4km upstream of Sungai Lasir had been halted as soon as the pollution issue was reported in the media.
