Electricity Cable Fire Might Be Triggered By Vandalism
Updated: 2016-04-29 12:00
KUALA LUMPUR, April 29 (Bernama) — Electricity cable fire that broke out under the Pulau Indah bridge early Friday could be triggered by vandalism, said Tenaga Nasional Bhd (TNB).
“While full investigation is on-going, initial findings so far point to suspected vandalism as the cause of the fire.
“The incident only caused temporary power disruption as TNB was able to feed supply from an altenative cable which was unaffected by the fire,” said TNB in a statement tonight.
It said TNB and Fire and Rescue Department are still at the scene to monitor the situation.
Yesterday, users were asked to use alternative routes because the high voltage cable under the bridge, with 33 kilovolt (kv), had caught fire at about 5.50 am.
