Putra Heights explosion causes widespread damage
The tragic explosion that occurred on the morning of 1 April was triggered by a gas leak in a Petronas pipeline. The blast sent flames rising up to 500 metres high, visible from a great distance.
This devastating incident happened during the second day of Hari Raya, displacing hundreds of residents.
The explosion resulted in extensive damage, affecting nearly 200 homes and forcing the evacuation of 305 people.
While many individuals sought hospital treatment for injuries, fortunately, no fatalities have been reported.
In these challenging times, the offer of free boarding for animals is a much-needed support to help victims of the explosion focus on their recovery.
