KUALA LUMPUR: The failure of a sewer pipe structure, corroded by chemical reactions and affected by soil instability, has been identified as the main cause of the sinkhole incident at Jalan Masjid India in August last year.
Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Federal Territories) Datuk Seri Dr Zaliha Mustafa said a special task force led by Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) found that the incident was not caused by the presence of a limestone layer beneath the ground, as initially feared by the public.
