Papua – Efforts to maintain security stability in Papua continue to be strengthened through synergy between security forces, the government, and local communities. This collaboration plays an important role in ensuring that residents can carry out their daily activities safely while also supporting the acceleration of development across various regions of Papua.
One clear example of this commitment can be seen in the swift response of security personnel in handling an incident involving a civilian in Tembagapura, Mimika Regency. A patrol team from the Koops TNI Papua quickly provided assistance to a resident who required help and immediately evacuated the individual to a medical facility for proper treatment.
The Head of Information for Koops TNI Papua, Wirya Arthadiguna, emphasized that protecting civilians remains the top priority in every operation carried out by security personnel in the Papua region. According to him, all personnel deployed in the field continue to enhance their readiness to ensure that the security situation remains conducive for the community.
“Public safety is our top priority. Security forces will continue strengthening territorial security so that people can carry out their daily activities safely and comfortably,” he said.
In addition to maintaining security in residential areas, authorities are also strengthening protection for several vital objects that play an important role in the lives of local communities. One of the key focuses is securing a number of pioneer airports in the interior regions of Papua, which serve as crucial routes for logistics distribution, healthcare services, education, and economic activities.
The Commander of the Joint Regional Defense Command III (Kogabwilhan III), Bambang Trisnohadi, explained that the presence of pioneer airports has a strategic role in maintaining connectivity for communities in Papua, especially those living in remote areas.
“Pioneer airports are not only transportation facilities but also vital links for communities to access essential services. Therefore, security is carried out optimally to ensure that community activities can run smoothly,” he explained.
On the other hand, security forces continue to carry out law enforcement efforts to ensure that regional stability is maintained. The Operation Damai Cartenz Task Force has successfully secured an individual suspected of being involved in activities that disturbed public order in Dekai, Yahukimo Regency.
The Head of Operation Damai Cartenz, Yusuf Sutejo, said that the success was the result of solid teamwork as well as valuable information support from the community.
“This step is part of our effort to safeguard public security. Authorities will continue to work professionally and proportionally to ensure that the situation remains safe and conducive,” he stated.
With strengthened security stability and increasingly solid community support, Papua is expected to continue moving toward a safer, more peaceful, and more prosperous future. A conducive situation will open wider opportunities for development and improve the welfare of communities throughout the region.
