Students want officer dismissed

PEKANBARU, Riau: Students of the Kampar regency urged the Riau Police Chief to dismiss local police chief Adj. Sr. Comr. Suroso Hadi Siswoyo for allowing anarchy in the regency.

The protesting students also sought security guarantees to ensure development programs take place in the regency.

They expressed their demands during a hearing with Riau deputy police chief Sr. Comr. Fachruddin Bakar here on Monday.

In his response, Fachruddin said the police had no right to dismiss officials. "But I will inform the police chief about this demand."

He called on the students to help create peace and stability in the regency. -- Antara
