Hour-long downpour causes flash floods in Putrajaya

PUTRAJAYA, Dec 8 — An hour-long heavy rain that started at 4pm caused flash floods at Presint 11 Zon 4A today, submerging 20 vehicles.

Several roads were also flooded, rendering them impassable for light vehicles.

Putrajaya Federal Territory Fire and Rescue Department director Abdul Manaf Che Isa said two fire engines with 13 firefighters were dispatched to the area for monitoring following an emergency call at 4.44pm.

The firefighters managed to clear blocked drains and divert the floodwaters.

“Flooding receded at 5.30pm,” he told Bernama, adding that the area is being monitored.

Monitoring is also being carried out via CCTVs with the cooperation of the Putrajaya Command Centre.
