Sungai Janing Overflow Affected Specific Villages in Kedah

The overflow of Sungai Janing, caused by continuous rainfall, has led to flooding in Kampung Perik, Kampung Labi, and Kampung Bendang Raja. These villages are located in the Padang Terap district of Kedah. The rising waters necessitated the evacuation of residents from these areas to designated relief centres.
Villages Impacted by Sungai Janing

Continuous rainfall since 5pm on October 26 led to the overflow of Sungai Janing. This surge in water levels directly impacted Kampung Perik, Kampung Labi, and Kampung Bendang Raja. These three villages experienced flooding as a consequence of the river's inundation.
Establishment of Relief Centres

In response to the flooding in the Padang Terap district, two relief centres were established on the night of October 26. Sekolah Kebangsaan (SK) Tualak was opened to accommodate 43 individuals from 15 families. Additionally, Sekolah Kebangsaan (SK) Perik became a relief centre, housing 33 people from eight families evacuated from the affected villages.
Evacuations in Kubang Pasu District

Separately, in the Kubang Pasu district, a relief centre at Sekolah Kebangsaan (SK) Binjai was opened to house 91 individuals from 28 families. These evacuees were displaced from Kampung Telok, Kampung Bendang Dalam, and Kampung Tanjung. While not directly linked to the Sungai Janing overflow, this indicates a broader flood situation affecting multiple districts in Kedah.
