War on drugs launched in Bogor

BOGOR (JP): The Bogor administration along with community and religious leaders here jointly declared on Thursday a war against drugs, gambling and prostitution in the town.

The declaration was made after participants witnessed the burning of two kilograms of ganja and about 200 ecstasy pills which were seized a month ago by police during a drug operation.

"I'll take stern action against any of my subordinates involved in the drug business," North Bogor Regent Efendy said. (21/edt)
