The first phase of the Jiwaka Kumul Force Operation Illegal Gun Amnesty program has concluded successfully, resulting in the surrender of more than 30 weapons. The amnesty initiative, aimed at reducing illegal firearms in the Jiwaka province of Papua New Guinea, has now progressed to its second phase. Details regarding the specifics of phase two were not provided in the initial report. This program represents a significant effort to improve public safety and address gun violence within the region. The surrender of these weapons marks a positive step towards disarming individuals and disrupting criminal activities. Authorities hope the continued amnesty will encourage further participation and contribute to a more secure environment for residents of Jiwaka. The initiative was reported on by the Post Courier.
