Heavy rain believed to be behind Rajang logjam, says state Forestry Dept


KUCHING: Heavy localised rainfall within the Ulu Katibas catchment area is believed to have caused the recent logjam at the confluence of the Katibas and Rajang rivers, says the Sarawak Forest Department.

Its director Datuk Hamden Mohammad said satellite data obtained last Sunday (March 3) showed about 10 sites where major slips or landslides occurred within the catchment area due to the heavy rain.
