Searching deep for missing nine


HULU SELANGOR: Even with sniffer dogs and excavators, it’s a slow and laborious process for rescuers to dig through the rubble for the nine people still missing in the landslide at Father’s Organic Farm in Batang Kali.

Now, they have additional help – Ground Penetrating Radars. These are equipment that can detect bodies buried deep in the ground.Selangor Fire and Rescue Department director Datuk Norazam Khamis said the radar equipment was handed over to them by the Survey and Mapping Department and the National Disaster Management Agency (Nadma).
