Sinkhole incident: divers unable to reach stuck object due to undercurrents

Fire and Rescue Department detected an object stuck between clear soil and second sewer approx. 80 m away

KUALA LUMPUR – The situation was tense and full of anticipation in the search and rescue operation this morning when two firemen went down the sewage channel at the site of the sinkhole incident along Jalan Masjid India to dive into the sewage tunnel to find the Indian woman who is missing since last Friday.

Based on observations at the location, two firemen from the Malaysian Fire and Rescue Department Diving Team who were fully equipped with scuba gear were seen descending into the hole at 3.06 in the morning and closely watched by members of the SAR team members.

The diving process was carried out after the Fire and Rescue Department detected an obstacle in the form of an object stuck between the location of the clear soil and the second sewer, located approximately 80 metres away, yesterday.

However, less than half an hour later, the two firemen were then seen being pulled up using a rope and they climbed back out of the hole with the help of other team members before being decontaminated and cleaned. 

Bernama was made to understand that the reason both divers were lifted up was because they were unable to get close to the location where the object is believed to have stuck, due to strong undercurrents in the sewage tunnel. 

Until 4.30am this morning there has been no official statement from the Fire and Rescue Department to the media who have been waiting since midnight to report the outcome of the SAR’s latest efforts.

Yesterday, Fire and Rescue Department Deputy Director General (Operations) Datuk Ahmad Izram Osman said his team detected an obstacle in the form of an object stuck between the location of the clear land and the second sewage tunnel which is located approximately 80 metres away from the site.

He said that the findings were obtained through detection by two Detection Unit (K9) dogs, Denti and Frankie, who were brought down to the scene of the incident last Tuesday, in addition to camera detection.

Following the detected object, water and sewage was pumped out late last night while eight divers assisted by 75 members who were manning the machinery and logistics. 

During the sinkhole incident last Friday, a woman, identified as Vijayaletchumy, 48, from Kuppam, Andhra Pradesh, India fell into an eight-metre deep hole and went missing while the SAR operation continues for the seventh day today. – August 29, 2024
