(Post Today photo)SONGKHLA: Irrigation officials are struggling to protect the commercial heart of Hat Yai district against overflow from a canal and Songkhla Lake. The overflow has already flooded some outlying parts of Hat Yai district and nearby Bang Klam district. Flood prevention and mitigation officials and volunteers were racing against time to secure the business area in Hat Yai, which has so far been spared flooding. The vessels were positioned in the middle section of the canal between Hat Yai and Bang Klam districts. At some spots, the flood water was four metres high.
