KOTA BARU: The General Operations Force (GOF) has been instructed to intensify operations along the Kelantan-Thai border to prevent Thai nationals returning for Aidilfitri from using illegal routes.

Kelantan police chief Datuk Mohd Yusoff Mamat said the directive was issued after police noticed a significant increase in the entry of Thai nationals through three entry points in Kelantan over the past two days.
