Army to punish errant soldiers

BANJARMASIN, South Kalimantan: Chief of Tanjungpura Military
Command Maj. Gen. Hadi Waluyo promised on Friday to punish those
officers under his command who have been backing illegal mining
and logging activities in Kalimantan, Antara reported.

Hadi, who was appointed to the post last month, said he would
not tolerate any criminal act within his command as it would
taint the image of the Indonesian Military (TNI).

The command oversees all four Kalimantan provinces.

Hadi called on the help of the public to report any military
men involved in illegal activities.

Widespread illegal logging and mining have threatened the
sustainability of Kalimantan's tropical rainforests. (07)
