ALOR SETAR, Nov 12 — The number of flood evacuees in Kedah dropped slightly to 247 people this morning from 256 people last night.

Kedah Civil Defence Force Disaster Management Committee Secretariat chief Major (PA) Mohd Muaz Mohd Yusof said four relief centres are still operating in Pendang and Kubang Pasu districts.

“In Pendang, 100 people from 24 families are at Dewan Rakan Sukan Tanah Merah while 51 others from 17 families are at Dewan Cenderawasih.

“In Kubang Pasu, 75 evacuees from 20 families are still at Sekolah Kebangsaan (SK) Kampung Tradisi Lembah Keriang while SK Malau is housing 21 people from four families,” he said in a statement here today.

As the weather was favourable yesterday, some victims were allowed to return home after the flood waters receded, but this morning the weather is cloudy again, he added.
