KUALA LUMPUR: The search and rescue (SAR) operation for an elderly woman and her 12-year-old granddaughter who were believed to have lost their way to a durian orchard in Bukit Buluh Telur, Kuala Kubu Baharu, Selangor, yesterday, resumed this morning.

Selangor Fire and Rescue Department assistant director of operations, Ahmad Mukhlis Mokhtar said the operation started at 8.30am with eight personnel from the Kuala Kubu Baharu Fire and Rescue Station.

"SAR began as early as 8.30 this morning but the victims have not yet been found," he said when contacted by Bernama today.

Yesterday, Selangor Fire and Rescue Department director Wan Md Razali Wan Ismail said the SAR was halted at 7.20pm due to darkness and rainy weather conditions at the location and would resume this morning.

The woman had called her son at noon yesterday to inform him that she was lost before her cell phone was believed to have run out of battery and following that, her eldest son made a police report at 3pm yesterday. – BERNAMA
