“I have visited the Jalan Masjid India area twice, and the search for the missing victim will continue until she is found,” he said.
“Additionally, instructions have been issued to Kuala Lumpur police chief (Datuk Rusdi Mohd Isa) and Dang Wangi district police chief (ACP Sulizme Affendy Sulaiman) to close all chambers and culverts,” he added.
Razarudin noted that the route along Jalan Masjid India towards Jalan Raja Laut has been closed for the search and rescue operation.
He also clarified that authorities have not ordered any of the nearby shops to close.
“I prefer not to elaborate on this matter as the police’s role is primarily related to security, not technical aspects,” he said.
On Aug 23, Vijayaletchumy, 48, from Kuppam, Andhra Pradesh, India, went missing after falling into an eight-metre-deep hole caused by a sudden ground collapse. The search and rescue operation to locate her is now entering its seventh day.
