KUCHING, Nov 12: Seven villages in the Mambong constituency are set to benefit from a RM750,000 river clearing, flood mitigation project aimed at reducing flash flood risks, particularly during the monsoon season.
The project, funded under the Great Kuching Coordinated Development Agency (GKCDA), will cover approximately 16.2 kilometres of river stretching across Kampung Simbuh, Kampung Sikog, Kampung Rabak Asah, Kampung Bratan, Kampung Bawang, Kampung Nyiru Grait and Kampung Git.
Deputy Minister of Transport (Aviation and Roads) Datuk Dr Jerip Susil said the project would involve deepening shallow sections of the river, clearing overgrown vegetation, and removing other debris to improve water flow.
