Police ask for pub owners' help

SURABAYA, East Java: Provincial police chief Maj. Gen. Roesmanhadi has called on owners of pubs, nightclubs and karaoke bars to help fight the drug trade.

"We are calling for their help...so that the network can be wiped out," he said on Saturday, as quoted by Antara.

Roesmanhadi said the police had been enjoying success recently in their efforts to stop drug trafficking in the province. He said the sale of drugs often took place in places such as pubs.

"If you, reporters, know about drug orgies, inform the police...We're the ones who will take action. Not you," Roesmanhadi said. (swe)
