Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>Jonglei State Police Commissioner, Maj. Gen. Elia Costa Augustino, has assured residents of a peaceful and secure Christmas and New Year celebration.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Sudans Post on Sunday, Gen. Costa outlined their comprehensive security plan to ensure festivities proceed without incident.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have more than 200 forces we have prepared from different units. We have about twenty Churches here all these Churches we are going to deploy the forces there and that will start from 24th to 25th during the prayers,\u201d he said. Said Costa.<\/p>\n

While awaiting the state government\u2019s budget approval for the operation, Costa emphasized their preparedness.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur security plan is complete and will be presented soon. We have organized forces from the army, prison service, police, CID, and NSS to ensure everyone\u2019s safety during the holidays,\u201d he said, indicating that the security plan covers a period from December 20th, 2023, to January 1st, 2024.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat plan will start from the 20th of December 2023 to the 1st January 2024. But now we still have this patrol during night and day time inside the residential areas, main roads and public places because during this time this is the time the criminals randomly commit crimes,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The state police commissioner also urged the public to celebrate responsibly and avoid celebratory gunfire.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe strictly prohibit any shooting in the air during Christmas and New Year. Firing guns can cause unnecessary panic and fear among the community,\u201d Costa said, assuring that there are traffic control measures in place.<\/p>\n

\u201cTraffic police will be deployed to manage vehicle and motorcycle movement during Christmas and New Year celebrations, ensuring everyone\u2019s safety on the roads,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
