The East-West Highway has been reopened to all types of vehicles following completion of clearing work of landslides at Km12 and Km14 near Jeli in Kelantan.

Jeli police chief DSP Mohd Yusoff Jaafar told Bernama that the clearing work at Km12 was completed at 11.45am today, while for Km14 it was done at 3pm.

The incidents caused access to be cut in both directions of the important mountain highway that connects Jeli in Kelantan with Gerik in Perak.

No casualties were reported in either of the incidents.

Users of the highway, which cuts across the Main Range, where sometimes wild elephants can be seen by the roadside, are advised to be extra cautious during this rainy season.
