IPOH – A 100-km stretch of Jalan Chikus in Langkap, Teluk Intan, near the Attaduri cemetery, has been closed off to all vehicles since yesterday due to a cave-in.

Perak infrastructure, energy, water and public transport committee chairman Datuk Zolkafly Harun said the cave-in occurred at about 10am yesterday.

“According to the Public Works Department, the cave-in occurred due to an overflow of water from Sg Batang Padang caused by the floods in Hilir Perak.”
