KUALA LUMPUR: Authorities have conducted checks following a landslide on Jalan Belaga-Menjawah in Sarawak, reported at 10.31 am today, said Works Minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi.

In a Facebook post today, he said a diversion has already been implemented, and repair works will commence to ensure the road is safe for use.

Nanta said that a team from the Belaga Fire and Rescue station is also monitoring the landslide area.
