Perlis: Perlis police will intensify monitoring at 12 identified accident-prone locations (blackspots) across the state during Op Selamat 24, which runs from today until April 3 in conjunction with the Aidilfitri celebrations. Perlis police chief Datuk Muhammad Abdul Halim emphasized that ensuring road users' safety remains a priority, particularly for motorcyclists, who are at the highest risk of severe injuries or fatalities in accidents.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, Datuk Muhammad urged road users to plan their journeys, obey traffic regulations, and ensure their vehicles are in good condition before travelling. "Let us celebrate Aidilfitri with joy and without tragedy," he remarked to reporters after the launch of the state-level Op Selamat 24, which was officiated by Menteri Besar Mohd Shukri Ramli at Jalan Kuala Perlis.

Meanwhile, Datuk Muhammad shared that the police have also initiated Op Lancar, a 15-day operation that began on March 23. This operation aims to ease traffic congestion, especially on major roads expected to be busy with returning travelers for Aidilfitri.
