A total of 909 TNI/Polri security forces are still on standby to secure the industrial area of PT Gunbuter Nickel Industry (GNI) in North Morowali Regency, Central Sulawesi. "In fact, the Gorontalo Police Mobile Brigade Unit sent 200 company-level unit personnel (SSK) to help with security as a form of synergy," said North Morowali Police Chief AKBP Imam Wijayanto when contacted from Palu, quoted from Antara, Sunday, January 22. Until now, the situation in the PT GNI area is getting more conducive and the company's operational activities are running normally. "We thank the Central Sulawesi Police, Brimob ranks, and the Gorontalo Police for supporting this step to create a conducive situation," he said. According to a report from the Central Sulawesi Regional Police, security in the nickel mining industry area is spread over a number of central points, namely the company's entrance, the employee hut for foreign workers (TKA), the PT GNI Office, and establishing a number of posts that are considered vulnerable. The police invite residents to create a cool security and public order situation (kamtibmas) so that the image of the area becomes more positive. For this reason, the public must wisely receive information on social media so as not to be influenced by hoax issues. "Let's support each other for the good of this area. People must take a role in creating a conducive security and social order atmosphere wherever they are. Let's build a shady atmosphere together so that this area will develop in the future," said Imam.
