Police told to get tough on drugs

SURABAYA: The newly established Anti-Narcotics Movement,
during a meeting with the police here on Friday, called for a
tougher stance on drug traffickers.

"Sterner action is necessary to curb trafficking and prevent
the increasing number of drug addicts in the area," the
movement's spokesman, Mochtar Moekri, said after the meeting with
North Surabaya Police chief Supt. M. Noerjajadi.

The meeting with the police was aimed at coordinating efforts
to curb the distribution of narcotics.

He said the demand was made because there was a belief that in
the past drug traffickers often went unpunished. (lup)
