Thousands of police deployed for Op Lancar ahead of Aidiladha
KUALA LUMPUR: Thousands of policemen will be deployed nationwide to ensure safe and smooth traffic flow, especially over the weekend, in conjunction with the Aidiladha celebrations. The traffic operation, codenamed Op Lancar, comes into effect today and will run until June 9. Federal Traffic Enforcement and Investigation Department director Datuk Seri Mohd Yusri Hassan Basri said that a total of 1,858 officers and personnel have been deployed at hotspot locations nationwide. Bumper-to-bumper traffic congestion is expected as Malaysians travel to their hometowns to celebrate with family. This coincides with the annual school holidays, with millions of motorists hitting the roads. Yusri urged road users to plan their journeys back to their hometowns more effectively. "All road users are also urged to play their part as responsible drivers by obeying traffic regulations. Avoid cutting queues, misusing emergency lanes, or parking in ways that obstruct the road," he said.
