Fault in barrage gate caused Sungai Muda to come close to going dry, says Kedah MB


SUNGAI PETANI: A faulty barrage gate opening over the weekend caused water to flow out of Sungai Muda in an unhindered manner, says Kedah Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor.

Sanusi said an automatic sensor at one of the barrage gates failed, causing the gate to open by itself.
