- The government will deploy additional security personnel to all border towns
- The deployment of security forces is directly linked to the new ban on grain exports
- Minister Nitiwul has called on citizens to actively participate by reporting any suspicious activities
Defense Minister, Dominic Nitiwul has announced that the government will increase security measures at all border towns throughout the country, with a particular focus on the northern regions, to combat the smuggling of grains into neighboring countries.
This decision is part of a broader strategy to address potential food shortages caused by recent drought conditions.
The deployment of security personnel is intended to enforce a new government ban on grain exports, aimed at ensuring sufficient food supplies within the country. The initiative underscores the government’s commitment to protecting its citizens and preventing any disruption to the local food supply.
Dominic Nitiwul emphasized the importance of this operation by stating, “We are taking significant steps to deploy security forces across all borders, with special attention to the northern regions. We are also extending our efforts to the eastern and southern borders. We urge citizens to cooperate with the security agencies during this period.”
He also encouraged the public to report any suspicious activities or unauthorized routes that might be used for smuggling. “If you observe anything unusual or suspect any unauthorized activity, please inform us immediately so we can take the necessary actions,” Nitiwul added.
The enhanced border security is a proactive measure to mitigate the risk of food shortages and ensure that the country’s resources are adequately preserved for domestic needs. The government’s decision reflects a broader effort to stabilize the food supply amidst challenging environmental conditions.
Nitiwul reassured the public that these measures are in place for their benefit and the overall stability of the nation. “It is essential for everyone to support these efforts and work together to avoid any unnecessary suffering due to potential food shortages,” he said.
The deployment of additional security forces is expected to significantly reduce illegal grain exports and enhance the monitoring of border activities. This move highlights the government’s determination to manage the current crisis and safeguard national interests.
Citizens are encouraged to stay vigilant and assist in maintaining the integrity of the food supply chain by reporting any irregularities. The collaboration between the public and security agencies will be crucial in achieving the desired outcomes and ensuring that the country remains resilient in the face of adversity.
