Challenging search continues on for sinkhole victim


KUALA LUMPUR: It was another difficult day in the search for the woman who was swallowed up by a sinkhole at Jalan Masjid India on Friday, even as rescuers opened up six more sewerage manholes in the vicinity of Jalan Masjid India to facilitate search operations.

Dang Wangi OCPD Asst Comm Sulizme Affendy Sulaiman said the decision to open the manholes, with assistance from Indah Water Konsortium, was made following discussions with relevant agencies to look for Vijayalaksmi, 48, a tourist from India.
