Now these people who are said to be rebels in the area\u2014which country are they fighting to liberate yet the country has been liberated already? What do they want? That\u2019s just chaos,”\u00a0Gen. Marol blasted.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, there are logistical challenges facing the forces deployed along the highways, which the police chief acknowledged, saying they will be acted upon in order to improve work efficacy.<\/p>\n \u201cWe have heard your problem, but it will be solved.” Marol promised the soldiers adding that. \u201cOur visit to you with the commanders is to make sure that you people apprehend those criminals and put them in a prison they won\u2019t escape.\u201d<\/p>\n For his part, Lt. Gen. Thoi Chany urged the forces to abide by their professional mandate of protecting civilians and their properties.<\/p>\n \u201cWe want to see you doing your great job on the road because the traffic flow and vehicles plying the highway day and night is all your responsibility,\u201d he added. \u201cWe would like to commend you for the work you have been doing on the road.\u201d<\/p>\n Gen. Chany stressed the sole responsibility of the organized forces which is the \u201cprotection\u201d of civilians and their properties.<\/p>\n \u201cWe are responsible for this highway. Let no other incident happen on this road like the attack on the bus early last week,\u201d he told the soldiers.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" By Philip Buda Ladu Inspector General of Police (IGP), Lt.
