PETALING JAYA, Apr 4 — Selangor Police Chief Datuk Hussein Omar Khan confirmed today that preliminary investigations indicated that earthworks were done mere 30 metres away from the Putra Heights explosion site.
He said, however, the police need around two more weeks to investigate if the earthworks had triggered the explosion from the gas pipeline.
“For now, the respective agencies are conducting stabilisation works on the ground before we can dig the ground to conduct further investigations.
“We need some time to verify if the earthworks carried out by the contractor had triggered the explosion,” Hussein told a press conference at the Taman Putra Harmoni command centre here in Putra Heights.
