SHAH ALAM, SHAH ALAM, SHAH ALAM, SHAH ALAM, SHAH ALAM From midnight today till July 16, no barbed wire will be installed in the 34 Selangor sub-districts as part of the execution of the Enhanced Movement Control Order (EMCO). Instead, Selangor Officers Chief Datuk Arjunaidi Mohamed stated that police would increase roadblock restrictions.
In the EMCO zones, he claimed, 80 percent of the approximately 14,000 troops and policemen would be used for standard operation procedure (SOP) compliance activities to guarantee no one crossed the line.
“What we’ll do is put up barriers on the main roads that people use to cross areas” (between sub-districts and districts).
“We will also station surveillance teams to guarantee that no one crosses districts or states,” he said in an online portal interview today, adding that police will boost mobile roadblocks or spot inspections in addition to the 120 to 140 obstacles.
As a result, he asked residents of Selangor who need to travel outside the state for work or vice versa to bring letters of consent from their employers and ministries to the roadblocks.
The EMCO, according to Arjunaidi, was the proper move to ensure that positive Covid-19 cases in the state were limited and did not spread to other states.
“As a result, it’s critical that we isolate movements in the next two weeks to prevent the pandemic from spreading.” We might be able to get out of the EMCO (period) considerably sooner if we all cooperate,” he remarked.
In Selangor, the EMCO consists of 34 sub-districts spread among eight districts: Petaling, Hulu Langat, Sepang, Gombak, Kuala Langat, Klang, Kuala Selangor, and Hulu Selangor./n
