SELANGOR will scrutinise preventive measures taken by contractors of infrastructure projects near rivers to ensure silt does not end up in the water bodies.

State environment, green technology, tourism and indigenous affairs committee chairman Hee Loy Sian said the state received proposals and approved several big infrastructure projects close to the Sungai Selangor basins, which could potentially pollute the river.
