DENGKIL, 17 Oct: Kumpulan Semesta Sdn Bhd (KSSB) will intensify monitoring of sand mining areas to ensure the quality of river water is preserved.
The Chief Executive Officer of KSSB, Datuk Dr Azimuddin Bahari said that they have set up a Monitoring Committee tasked to monitor all sand mining activities by providing reports every two weeks.
“We will conduct tight monitoring to ensure that appointed contractors do not break the rules set,” he told TVSelangor at the Ibadah Korban (Sacrificial) Ceremony organised by KSSB here at the As-Shariff Mosque.

“KSSB assists in terms of flood mooring and sand dredging to smoothen the river water flow,” he said,
Azimuddin said the three appointed contractors have been terminated for violating regulations.
The Korban ceremony was attended by over 300 staff of KSSB and local residents, with six cows being sacrificed.
