"For a month, we have conducted the Cipta Kondisi public safety operation and the National Police deputy chief has said terrorist threats, narcotics and street crime [would be curbed by the police during 2018 Para Games]. The Jakarta Police, regional military command (Kodam) and the city administration are ready to secure the event," he said. (ami)
