SEREMBAN: Twelve families living in a housing area in Lobak near here have temporarily moved out after authorities declared the area a disaster zone due to soil movement.

Negri Sembilan disaster committee chairman Datuk Dr Razali Ab Malik said the soil movement at Jalan Bukit Berlian 5 in Taman Bukit Berlian was caused due to continuous rain since early Dec 1, which has since worsened.
