Enforcement officers involved in the operation to clear illegally-planted durian trees at Batu Talam permanent forest reserve here were faced with unexpected "hurdles" while executing their duties.
On Sunday, a four-wheel-drive vehicle with a punctured tyre belonging to one of the farmers was parked in the middle of the narrow road and blocked the path into the farms.
Yesterday, the enforcement team was forced to spend several hours repairing a damaged concrete bridge along the path leading to the farms.
State Forestry Department assistant director (enforcement) Nor Azirim Ahmad said these "obstacles" had resulted in delays to reach the plantation site.
