The Fire and Rescue Department has coordinated with the Sungai Selangor Dam management to temporarily suspend water releases to keep river currents stable during the search for three missing victims at Sungai Pertak.
HULU SELANGOR: The Fire and Rescue Department (JBPM) is working with the management of the Sungai Selangor Dam to temporarily suspend water releases to keep river currents stable and facilitate the search for three people still missing in Sungai Pertak.
Its Operations Division director Datuk Abdul Razak Muda said the measure was necessary to prevent sudden changes in water currents from widening the search area and complicating efforts to locate the victims.
“To facilitate the search and keep the search area contained, we have communicated with the dam management to ensure that water releases remain suspended until all the victims are found,” he told a media conference at the JBPM Forward Control Post at Jambatan Pertak here today.
