Pontianak, W Kalimantan (ANTARA News) - Police have sent more unit of its mobile brigade to Papua to maintain security in the countrys easternmost province of Papua.
"On Wednesday night I just saw off 101 members of the Mobile Brigade Corps to Papua where they would be on duty under the Papua regional police," Head of the West Kalimantan Police Insp.Gen. Musyafak said here.
The new unit under Adj. Sr.Com. Raymond M Masengi will be on duty in Papua for four months to replace a unit sent there previously.
The ceremony took place at the parking area of the Supadio airport of Pontianak from there they flew directly to Papua on board a Lion Air aircraft.
Musyafak told the members of the police special force to cooperate with local police members and the military in carrying out their duty in Papua.
Earlier this month, another unit of 120 members of the police mobile brigade corps already arrived in Papua from West Java.
The members of the special police force from the West Java police were to be stationed at the posts of Sinak, Ilu and Ilaga in mountainous district of Puncak Jaya.
Upon arrival here from Java, Papua police chief Insp.Gen. Paulus told them to seek communications with local people as well as other police members and other members of security force.
He warned them not to leave their post alone when they were on patrol, saying the areas around their posts are known to be often infiltrated by separatists.
After being briefed by the police general, the members of the unit were flown to Wamena and from there they were split into smaller units to be stationed at different posts .
Papua has remained a hot spot in the country with separatist rebels hiding in the mountain jungles launching sporadic attacks on the government police or military posts.(*)
