AN EMERGENCY response team has been put on standby 24 hours every day to reassure residents of Jalan Saga 28 after rocks tumbled down Taman Bukit Saga’s hill side, splashing mud along 10 houses on Jan 23.

A boulder measuring about 1m by 1m slid down the hill at 10.45am as a result of construction work at the Sungai Besi-Ulu Kelang Expressway’s (SUKE) project site.

No injuries, casualties or damaged property were reported but swift action was taken by SUKE’s highway concessionaire Projek Lintasan Kota Holdings Sdn Bhd (Prolintas) to immediately see to the houses and vehicles affected by the spray of mud.

Prolintas bore the cost  to clean up the area, which was completed by 7pm on the same day.

A statement by Prolintas read that the SUKE team was still investigating the incident.
