KUALA LUMPUR: Rescuers in Kuala Lumpur are still using high-pressure jets of water to cut through debris along two manholes in search of a 48-year-old Indian tourist who fell into a sinkhole on Jalan Masjid India last Friday, Malaysian authorities said on Monday evening (Aug 26).
They are conducting the operation between the manhole at the incident location, and another one 69m away.
Dang Wangi police chief, Assistant Commissioner Sulizmie Affendy Sulaiman, told reporters that the water-jetting operation was focused on a sewage pipe near a manhole at the Wisma Yakin building.
“Early today morning, we had used a camera crawler in the sewerage and at a depth of about 4m, we noticed objects that looked like hard rock.
“We have been using the jetting technique to break the debris so that when it breaks, any objects including the body of a human will get past the objects,” he said during an update of the search and rescue work.
