BANTING, Feb 20 (Bernama) -- A RM30 million project to deepen Sungai Langat so that it can be used as an alternative means of transport will begin soon, Selangor Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Dr Mohamad Khir Toyo said.
He said the state project would be carried out with the cooperation of Megasteel Sdn Bhd, the company which has an integrated steel complex in Olak Lempit near here.
Dr Mohamad Khir said Megasteel had agreed to build a 10 km long canal on its land and a jetty to facilitate transportation of its steel products.
"The canal will not divert the river's flow while the project will help improve the cleanliness of Sungai Langat," he told reporters after taking a boat ride along the river, Monday.
Dr Mohamad Khir added that maintenance of the river would later be handed over to the company which would use the river to transport goods.
