Search efforts continue for Vijaya Lakshmi Gali, a 48-year-old tourist from Andhra Pradesh, who fell into an 8-meter-deep sinkhole in Kuala Lumpur on August 23.


 The sinkhole, located in the Dang Wangi area, collapsed beneath her as she walked, likely sweeping her away by an underground water current. 

The Indian High Commission in Malaysia, along with local police, fire and rescue teams, and other agencies, are employing specialized techniques, including remote cameras and ground-penetrating radars, to locate her. 

Gali, who was on a vacation with her husband and friends, was scheduled to return home on Saturday. The incident has prompted nearby businesses to close, and a second sinkhole was reported nearby on August 28 after a storm.
