The search for an Indian tourist who was swallowed by a sinkhole in Malaysia's capital has entered its seventh day. The incident occurred in the Dang Wangi area of Kuala Lumpur on August 23, when the pavement beneath the 48-year-old woman suddenly collapsed, causing her to plunge into an 8-meter-deep sinkhole.

Despite extensive search efforts, including the use of high-pressure water jets, excavators, tracker dogs, remote cameras, and ground penetrating radars, rescuers have not been able to locate the missing tourist, except for finding her slippers at the site of the sinkhole.
