New military post inaugurated

JAKARTA (JP): Jakarta Military Commander Maj. Gen. Wiranto inaugurated a new district military post in Bumi Serpong Damai, Tangerang, yesterday.

Wiranto expects that the operation of the new post will help improve security in the area.

"More new post areas are expected to curb the operations of criminals in Greater Jakarta," he said.

The post was built in response to the steadily rising growth in both industrial and residential sectors in the area.

Wiranto ordered each military officer assigned in the post to have a high degree of responsibility by taking the necessary steps as soon as there was any report of crime, without waiting for instructions from their superiors. (hhr)
