The Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) will begin operation to dig the graves discovered at the Mata Ayer Forest Reserve in Lubuk Sireh, Perlis, on Wednesday.
Perlis Police chief SAC Shafie Ismail said the Thai police had given the green light to use the access route to the location of the 91 graves identified in the forest reserve, located about 100 metres from the Thai border.
He told Bernama that work to dig up the graves in Wang Kelian had ended and the police and forensic teams would take a breather before starting the operation at the forest reserve, about two hours on foot from the camp in Wang Kelian.
The route via Ban Talok, Thailand, will only take about an hour because the path is not as steep as the Wang Kelian route, he said of the transit camp which was revealed by Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Datuk Seri Dr Shahidan Kassim Sunday.
Meanwhile, the Kedah police were gathering information to detect the identity of an individual known as 'Yassin' who was said to be a major agent and was directly involved in 'buying' the victims of the human trafficking crime.

The police had also issued a directive to enforcement authorities on the border to beef up security.
About 500 illegal immigrants, believed to be Rohingyas, are in Danok, Thailand, and believed waiting to enter Malaysia.
Kubang Pasu District Police chief Supt Abd Rahim Abdullah said the immigrants were believed to be trying to enter the country through Bukit Kayu Hitam.
"Instruction has been issued for the General Operations Force, Anti-Smuggling Unit and the Bukit Kayu Hitam Police Station to boost security measures," he said.
The Kelantan police will boost security at the Malaysia-Thai border in the state to curb smuggling and the entry of illegal immigrants.
State police chief Datuk Mazlan Lazim said police would also put up roadblocks at the Malaysia-Thailand border from Tumpat to Jeli jointly with ATM.
Meanwhile, 35 human skeletons, which were believed to be victims of the human trafficking syndicates which were found in the Bukit Burma jungle in Wang Kelian had been taken to the Sultanah Bahiyah Hospital, ALor Setar, Kedah for pathological processes.
To date, 139 graves at 28 temporary camps of the human trafficking syndicates were found between Kampung Wai in Kuala Perlis and Tangga 100 at Felcra Lubuk Sireh, Padang Besar.
