BelitongToday, Sijuk – The Government of Terong Village, Sijuk District, Belitung Regency, has decided to reactivate their civilian security posts (pos kamling) in their village area to anticipate the rise in cases of theft in the last few days.
“We have reactivated the “Pos Kamling” in order to create a conducive situation to prevent acts of theft,” said Head of Terong Village, Suhaimi, Wednesday (1/11).
