UPDATE: KL Sinkhole Rescue Operation Gets Tougher as Strong Water Current Appears Underground

The rescue work for the missing foreign woman is ongoing but it just got a lot tougher!

The turbulent water flow that appears in the 8-meter-deep hole has increased the difficulty of the authorities’ search and rescue. Kuala Lumpur Police Chief, Datuk Rusdi Mohd Isa confirmed that the authorities hope to find the trapped woman before dark, and promised that the mission will not be terminated until the person is found, reported 8TV News.

Unfortunately, the authorities cannot ask Indah Water to shut down the drainage system as this may cause flood and worsen the situation in the surrounding areas.

“We hope to find her before nighttime and hopefully, she is still alive,” said Datuk Rusdi.

The victim has been identified as a 48-year-old Indian national. Stay tuned as we keep you updated and to those on the road, drive safe!
