In a statement posted on its official social media platforms, the ROP said the move is aimed at ensuring smoother traffic flow through the border crossing during the current period of increased activity.

The authority said the enhanced measures include strengthening the checkpoint with additional human resources and modern inspection systems to improve operational efficiency and reduce waiting times for those using the crossing.
