Easter long weekend started on a very peaceful note on Good Friday, with no major incidents reported says Gordons Police Station Commander Senior Inspector Gabriel Kini Bire. Inspector Kini stated that Gordons has been very quiet since Good Friday and Easter Saturday, and he is hoping for the same for Easter Sunday and Monday. “When Gordons is peaceful then it is easier to concentrate on every other area in the Moresby Northeast District." Inspector Kini stated that Police operations for the Easter Long weekend started off on Friday and will continue until Monday evening. He added also they are conducting motorist patrols into suburbs, residential areas, settlement, business house areas and government property areas to make sure all places are safe and peaceful. “We have started road checks since Friday and will continue until Monday evening, that is to make sure citizens following the beer ban policy as well as travellers feel safe when on the road." “Our roadblocks will be at Unagi Oval, Erima round about, ATS Roundabout, 8mile, 9-mile roundabouts as well as Bautama roundabout." He added that because this long weekend is a religious holiday, most people will be traveling day and night as well for worship programs therefore roadblocks and motorist patrols are done to show police visibility and guarantee of safety at this time. “I urge all my good people in Moresby Northeast to celebrate safe, respect one another, and also to uphold liquor ban this Easter long weekend."
