PAPUA - Papua Police Chief Inspector General Mathius Fakhiri said that there were no prominent cases following the stipulation of a new autonomous region (DOB) carried out by the DPR in Jakarta, Thursday, June 30 yesterday.

"Alhamdulillah, as of Friday, there have been no reports of disturbances in public order caused by the rejection of the new autonomous regions," said Fakhiri in Jayapura, Papua, Antara, Friday, July 1.

Indeed, there have been a number of actions taken by a group of people who were dissatisfied with the new DOB's decision regarding the determination of the provincial capital in Central Papua Province and the refusal of the Bintang Mountains Regency to join the Central Mountains Province.

Various approaches continue to be carried out and we hope that all parties will not take anarchic actions because the new autonomous region's goal is to improve the welfare of the community.

"The pros and cons are normal, the most important thing is not to take actions that can disrupt the security and social order," he said.

Regarding the formation of the Regional Police in the three new regions, he stated that he would prepare a location for the Regional Police headquarters in the three new provinces.

"It will take time for the formation of a new regional police, but as the main regional police, we will prepare it considering that it was previously carried out during the formation of the West Papua Regional Police," he said.

The three new provinces in Papua are South Papua Province, Central Papua Province, and Central Highlands Papua Province.
