Minor subsidence near Jalan Masjid India due to pipe repair work, says City Hall

KUALA LUMPUR: City Hall has addressed concerns over a minor subsidence that occurred in front of the Ariani building near Jalan Masjid India.

"The subsidence is a result of previous pipe repair work carried out by Syarikat Bekalan Air Selangor Sdn Bhd (Syabas)," it said on its Facebook page.

Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) has informed Syabas about the issue, and remedial work to address the subsidence will be undertaken immediately.

The repairs are expected to be completed within three days.

On Aug 23, an Indian tourist, G. Vijaya Lakshmi, 48, went missing after falling into an eight-metre sinkhole in Jalan Masjid India while passing through the road to go to a nearby temple.

The authorities have deployed three high-capacity water pumps today to draw water from the sewer main under the sinkhole in Masjid India to facilitate the search for her.
