HULU LANGAT – Among the worst-hit areas in the district here is Taman Sri Nanding where residents have been cleaning up since floodwaters started to recede yesterday.
They are faced with the harrowing task of cleaning up debris, mud and rubbish left behind by Saturday’s massive flood.
The location has yet to see its electrical supply restored, although Air Selangor said water supply in certain Hulu Langat areas will resume by 11pm today.
Volunteers continue to mobilise aid to be sent here, but the area’s remote location has been a challenge.
