Search for woman swallowed by 8-metre pavement sinkhole now 'too risky'

Ms Gali, who was visiting from India's Andhra Pradesh state, was reportedly heading towards a nearby temple with her family when she was swallowed by the 8m (26ft) deep sinkhole on the street of Jalan Masjid India. Excavators were deployed shortly after the incident to dig up the area around the sinkhole, while rescuers used sniffer dogs and crawler cameras - robotic cameras used to inspect pipes - to get a better sense of what was happening underground. They have also tried to break apart hardened debris using high-pressure water jets, iron hooks and rope. On Tuesday, officials wheeled a ground-penetrating radar device onto the site, to help them pinpoint changes in material density underground. The next day, a second sinkhole appeared just 50m from the first one.
