Selangor launches joint clean-up operation to assist Putra Heights residents following gas pipeline fire.

SUBANG JAYA, April 10 — The Subang Jaya City Council (MBSJ) and the Selangor state government will carry out a coordinated clean-up operation this weekend to further support Putra Heights residents affected by the recent gas pipeline fire.

Selangor police chief Datuk Hussein Omar Khan stated that while MBSJ had already cleared public pathways and areas around homes, more work was required before residents could return to their properties.

"All agencies will be involved in this joint effort. As for volunteers, I urge and advise any NGOs or groups interested in participating in the large-scale community clean-up to register with Selangor Volunteers, which operates under the State Sports Council, to streamline aid and clean-up activities," he said during a press conference.

Hussein emphasized that access to the affected areas is restricted by the police, and only registered individuals will be allowed entry for the community clean-up efforts.

A total of 190 homes impacted by the gas pipeline fire in Putra Heights, Subang Jaya, last Tuesday have already been reoccupied after inspections confirmed their safety.

Earlier, Bernama reported that Hussein mentioned as of yesterday, 487 homes had been inspected by 12 technical agencies, including Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB), Air Selangor, the Department of Occupational Safety and Health (DOSH), the Public Works Department (PWD), MBSJ, and the police.

"Of these, 328 homes were declared safe for occupancy, with 190 already reoccupied," Hussein said, adding that TNB had restored electricity to 306 homes.
