KAJANG - The flood problem that occurs frequently in
Kajang is expected to be solved following the Selangor government’s
decision to approve the RM5.5 million allocation today.
The decision was made after the Menteri Besar, Mohamed
Azmin Ali, inspected for himself one of the locations that flood often
occurs at; the Kajang Market.
“We want to look at the location site that causes a part
of the flooding problem in Kajang, together with the Department of
Irrigation and Drainage (DID) and after listening to the briefing given,
we have decided to agree to accept the proposal by the DID to upgrade
the river in the area.
“It involves a cost of RM5.5 million and I have told the
State Government Secretary to approve the allocation requested by the
DID.
“The tender will start immediately because we want the
work to commence early in 2015, which is only a few weeks away,” said
Azmin after he visited the site.
He expects the upgrading work to begin as early as March 2015, as soon as the tender process is completed.
Azmin added that the upgrading involves widening the river
from eight to 12 metres after several stalls built on the river reserve
land is moved to a state government reserve land.
Azmin said that meanwhile, the improvement works have also
started by building a retaining wall in front of the Kajang Market and
to deepen the river to reduce the impact of natural disasters
