Over 2m vehicles expected on roads this Deepavali

Over two million vehicles are expected to take to the roads this Deepavali, reports The Star, with Ops Lancar, aimed at keeping traffic flow smooth, to be conducted from October 17-21.

Bukit Aman traffic investigation and enforcement department director Comm Datuk Seri Mohd Yusri Hassan Basri told the English-language daily that Ops Lancar will see some 500 personnel deployed across hotspots and black spots nationwide.

“We are also waiting on further instructions whether there will be a specific period for commercial vehicles to be on the road. We are still waiting for announcements from the transport ministry on that matter. Our priority is to ensure all road users get to their destinations safely,” he said.
