JAYAPURA - The Indonesian-Papua New Guinea Pamtas Task Force (PNG) Infantry Battalion 127/KC discovered a 5-hectare ready-to-harvest cannabis field in Waris District, Keerom Regency, Papua.
"The marijuana field was discovered on Tuesday (12/7) after receiving a report from the public," said Danrem 172/PWY Brigadier General Jo Sembiring in Jayapura as reported by ANTARA, Wednesday, July 13.
Therefore, Brigadier General Jo Sembiring considered it important to strengthen territorial development and social communication in the assigned area while at the same time inviting the public to be more concerned about the prohibition of possessing, growing, and distributing marijuana.
He advised his members to invite people who previously grew marijuana to switch to planting other productive plants and provide continuous assistance.
Meanwhile, Dansatgas Pamtas RI-PNG Infantry Battalion 126/KC Lieutenant Colonel Inf. Dwi Widodo revealed that the location of the marijuana field is about 4 kilometers from the Waris Post, or located between Paitenda and Banda villages.
Initially the members who served in the Waris Post received a report from the community, then his party deployed 10 soldiers to the location.
Arriving at the location, the soldiers conducted surveillance until 09.15 WIT to find out who the owner of the marijuana field was. However, no one came to the place.
In the field, hundreds of ready-to-harvest cannabis trees were found with an average height of 3 meters and most of them have been harvested.
Lt. Col. Inf. Dwi Widodo said that only 50 cannabis trees were successfully secured because they had been harvested first by local residents.
In addition to marijuana, he continued, bananas and other plants were also planted in the field so as not to attract the attention of others.
The chopped marijuana trees will be taken to the Kalipay Main Command Post for further submission to the Keerom Police.
