KUALA LUMPUR, April 9 — The Housing and Local Government Ministry (KPKT) has announced a RM2 million allocation to the Subang Jaya City Council (MBSJ) to repair public infrastructure in areas affected by the gas pipeline fire in Putra Heights.
The National Solid Waste Management Department (JPSPN) and Solid Waste Management and Public Cleansing Corporation (SWCorp) will also fully assist the Selangor government in carrying out cleaning works in the affected areas this weekend.
“The Cabinet meeting today paid serious attention to the fire incident in Putra Heights. Various forms of aid have been channelled to the victims, including cash assistance, transit house rental aid, and free car rentals.
“KPKT is focusing primarily on the restoration and reconstruction of homes affected by the fire,” it said in a statement.
KPKT added that a special task force was established last week, comprising all agencies under the ministry, particularly the implementing agencies — Syarikat Perumahan Negara Berhad (SPNB) and PR1MA.
The task force has also finalised an action plan for the repair and reconstruction of homes affected by the fire, following an announcement made by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
“The action plan has been submitted to him (Anwar) today,” it said.
