23rd June 2009 - Clean water for drought-stricken Baram folk

MIRI: The state authorities have started sending clean water to schools and settlements in the drought-hit Ulu Baram district in the interior of northern Sarawak.

SK Puyot and 10 longhouses, with total population of 3,000, are the first to get the water supply after they appealed to Baram District Officer Joseph Balayong.

The clean water sources ran dry a few days ago.
