The Kelantan state government is taking proactive steps to ensure its citizens have access to clean water during the upcoming Aidiladha celebrations, demonstrating its commitment to public welfare. Recognizing that some areas still face water supply issues despite ongoing infrastructure development, the state, through Air Kelantan Sdn. Bhd. (AKSB), is deploying permanent water tanks and increasing water distribution via lorries. This move addresses immediate needs while long-term solutions, like new water projects expected to be completed by 2028 or 2030, are still in progress.

This approach highlights the state's practical problem-solving and its focus on ensuring basic necessities are met, especially during important religious observances.

We will try to distribute water as best as possible to the users' homes. We are also prepared in terms of sending water tanks into the villages in quantities exceeding the usual.
