KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 27 — The Public Works Department (JKR) has been instructed to provide technological support to assist in the search for the victim of a sinkhole incident on Jalan Masjid India.
Works Minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi said although the sinkhole opened in an area under the jurisdiction of the Federal Territories Department and the Kuala Lumpur City Hall, the ministry will assist.
“I have instructed JKR to provide support in terms of technology to assist the SAR team because we have the expertise,” he said in an audio recording shared with the media today.
On Friday, a tourist from India, identified as Vijayaletchumy, 48, went missing after falling into an 8m-deep hole. She was walking to a nearby temple for breakfast when the ground suddenly caved in.
