Three roads in Kota Damansara reopened — Police

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 15 — Three roads in Kota Damansara which were closed following the implementation of the conditional movement control order (CMCO) have been reopened for the public’s convenience.

Jalan Persiaran Mahogani, Seksyen 9; Jalan Persiaran Jati, Seksyen 8; and Jalan Persiaran Sungai Buloh were reopened effective yesterday night.

Petaling Jaya District Police chief Assistant Commissioner Nik Ezanee Mohd Faisal said the reopening of the roads was done for the convenience of the people and frontliners.

“This is done to avoid traffic congestion, rearrange the movement of frontline personnel for roadblock duties as well as to carry out monitoring of crowded areas such as supermarkets, markets, commercial and leisure centres,” he said in a statement yesterday.

Nik Ezanee said police would mobilise existing human resources to other CMCO areas for tasks like Aberdeen MPV patrols, Ops Cantas and other necessary duties.

The government had earlier announced that Selangor, Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya would be placed under CMCO following a spike in Covid-19 cases of late.
