00:00The search and rescue operation for the Indian national who fell into an 8-metre deep sinkhole

00:07on Jalan Masjid India has been halted today.

00:11Federal Territories Minister Dr Zaleha Mustafa said this, adding that the decision was made

00:16based on the input given by all parties involved in the operation, including experts.

00:21She cited safety concerns for the fire and rescue team after a 15-metre blockage was

00:27found in an Indah Water Consortium Sdn Bhd pipeline recently.

00:31Another factor considered, she said, is the concern over the safety of the surrounding

00:35areas, such as the discovery of another sinkhole near the first sinkhole.

00:39Zaleha said Kuala Lumpur City Hall will now hand the matter over to the police to decide

00:44on the next course of action.

00:46DBKL will also carry out a mapping of underground utilities, as well as a review of the soil

00:52structure across the capital, she said.

00:55Zaleha said a full report on the incident will be tabled before the Cabinet.
