High-powered water jets to dislodge blockage in search area


KUALA LUMPUR: Heavy debris from a sinkhole that swallowed 48-year-old Vijayalaksmi last Friday has piled up along underground sewer lines, hampering search and rescue (SAR) efforts.

Dang Wangi OCPD Asst Comm Sulizmie Affendy Sulaiman, who is the operations commander of the incident, said that debris comprising rocks and pieces of concrete that had been swept along by strong water currents are obstructing access along sewer lines closest to the sinkhole.
