KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 7 — Authorities have announced the full closure of Jalan Batu Arang-Ijok, a stretch near the 32nd Mile in Rawang's Fruit Valley area, after a landslide struck on Thursday. Gombak district police chief ACP Ibrahim Husin informed that the closure came after a report of the incident was received around 11pm. According to initial investigations by the police and the Batu Arang Fire and Rescue Department, the landslide resulted from the failure of both the upper and lower slopes, along with a segment of the road infrastructure.
The Batu Arang Fire and Rescue Department further stated that the collapse had rendered the lane inaccessible from Ijok towards Rawang, prompting the closure of the road in both directions for safety reasons. ACP Ibrahim clarified that there were no reported fatalities or injuries from the incident.
The exact cause of the landslide is still under investigation and is being examined by the relevant authorities.
