Continuous rains add more hardship to people in flood-stricken areas

 

Continuous rains in several southern provinces last night and this morning have deteriorated the flooding situation now in the South and caused more trouble to flood victims.

 

Songkhla province was lashed with heavy rainfalls last night, submerging roads in the municipal areas.

 

Local authorities have to install more water pumps to drain flood water into the sea to prevent residential band business areas from inundation.

 

In nearby Phatthalung province, run-off from the wildlife sanctuary on the Bantad mountain range following overnight downpour flowed into canals, causing inundation in seven river basins in the province.

 

Landslide also hit several rubber plantations and orchards in Kong-ra district, posing a threat to 100 houses in Baan Nai Wang viilage.
