The work was carried out from December 04 to December 10 over a continuous seven-day period.

The A5 highway, a key route for community connectivity, emergency service access and the transport of essential supplies, became impassable after the cyclone triggered extensive damage across multiple regions. Responding to urgent requests from relevant authorities, China Harbour South Asia and Southeast Asia mobilised its specialised rescue teams, heavy machinery and technical expertise to accelerate the clearance process and support national recovery operations.
