DBKL announced that the reopened section includes the area near the Jalan Masjid India police beat and the alley between business premises, effective from November 10, in a Bernama report.

"This reopening was carried out after repair works and soil investigations in the affected area were successfully completed,” DBKL said.

"DBKL appreciates the patience and cooperation shown by the public and stakeholders throughout the duration of these works,” the statement added.

Meanwhile, DBKL said the ground zero area near Wisma Melayu, where the sinkhole occurred, remains closed as repair works are ongoing.
