KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 26 — The search for an Indian woman who fell into an 8m-deep sinkhole on Jalan Masjid India resumed today at the Pantai Dalam sewage plant, although the previous search was fruitless.
The Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) in a statement today said the inspection was carried out by the Fire and Rescue Department.
“Indah Water Konsortium will break up the debris (blockage) using a jetter (sewer jet machine) in the manhole path of the incident location to the manhole downstream over a distance of 69m,” said the statement.
Indah Water Konsortium flushed the fifth manhole late last night until 2am today, but did not find any clues.
The statement also said DBKL is committed to the search for the victim, now in its fourth day.
In addition, the statement said to facilitate the search, the public is advised to cooperate by avoiding the location of the incident.
In the Friday morning incident, a woman tourist known as Vijayaletchumy, 48, fell into a sinkhole that opened under her on Jalan Masjid India.
