ALOR SETAR: The Langgar police station near here is temporarily unable to receive complaints and reports from the public due to flooding that began on Saturday (Oct 4).
Kedah OCPD Datuk Adzli Abu Shah said the Integrated Police Reporting System (IPRS) has been temporarily shut down as the station is currently unable to operate due to floodwaters, but the public can still file complaints and reports at nearby police stations.
"The Langgar police station was suddenly inundated following heavy rain yesterday, and by 6pm, water had entered the station compound… it is estimated that the water level inside the station reached about five inches," he said on Sunday.
He said the incident occurred due to the low-lying terrain and a blocked drainage system caused by grass and debris.
"We have contacted the Irrigation and Drainage Department (DID) for assistance in clearing the drains in front of the station," he added.
Adzli added that although floodwaters entered the station compound, all essential documents and assets remained unaffected, as they had been relocated to a safe location. - Bernama
