THE number of vehicles entering Kelantan increased 20% following the government’s move to allow interstate travel from today.

State police chief Shafien Mamat said the vehicles entered through the state borders located in Jeli, Pasir Puteh and Gua Musang.

“Apart from that, we also detected an individual who has not completed his vaccination course trying to enter Kelantan at the Bukit Yong roadblock. He was ordered to turn back by authorities,” he told reporters after inspecting the roadblock in Pasir Puteh today.

Meanwhile, Shafien said 16 roadblocks were closed throughout the state last night, with only four remaining – two in Gua Musang and one each in Jeli and Pasir Puteh – to curb smuggling and criminal activities under Op Benteng.

In the meantime, he said police have set up 154 compliance teams comprising of 540 personnel to ensure people in Kelantan comply with the standard operating procedure when in public places. – Bernama, October 11, 2021.
