SURABAYA, East Java: Forest rangers in the province are now
supplied with firecrackers which they can use to scare off
looters and squatters.

The state owned forest company Perum Perhutani II has turned
to fireworks because of the high frequency of thefts, the Antara
news agency reported.

"Firecrackers can be effective in scaring off looters in the
night," said Gunarso, who is manning a guard post at the
Mojorayong forest near Madiun. (par)
