CAMERON HIGHLANDS: A 10 hectares site in Blue Valley, illegally cleared for farming, has been flattened.

The remaining 8ha will be cleared in a day or two.

National Security Council secretary Datuk Mohamed Tajudeen Abd Wahab said the operation, which entered its fourth day, would be ongoing.

He said during the four days, authorities also nabbed some 42 illegal foreign workers at the farm.

The operation was carried out following a cabinet decision to reclaim the land, which had been illegally cleared.
