PNG Elections : Security Forces Move into Enga Province

More than 1,500 members of the Joint Security Task Force moved into the Enga Province from Hela yesterday, in preparation for polling duties.

Commissioner Manning who is in the Highlands overseeing the election security operations said,  security operation focus has been in the Highlands provinces based on the past experiences and intelligence reports, but so far Hela has been reported relatively quiet with few isolated incidents which have been managed. 

He added,  police is expecting the same from the remaining provinces of Enga, Southern Highlands, Western Highlands, Jiwaka, Chimbu and Eastern Highlands provinces.

However, Commissioner Manning emphasized that security deployment and capability still remain heightened for worse case scenarios for polling leading into counting.
