The Assmambu community, located at Lae city's back road, held a restoration ceremony just recently, marking a renewed effort to combat crime and foster unity. The event was attended by Lae Police Chief Inspector James Luan and members of the Back Road community. The ceremony signified a commitment to strengthen local ward structures and encourage collaboration between the community, the newly appointed Assmambu Chairman, and Ward 12 Councilor. The Lae District Peace & Good Order Committees (LDPGOC) also pledged their support to enhance security and stability in the region. LDPGOC Chairman, Yaxs Tugula highlighted the significance of community involvement in ensuring a safer environment for all. "Despite the challenges we've faced in the past, we now have a chance to come together and transform the image of Assmambu. Every community member plays a part in reporting crime and supporting peace efforts. This is the only way to create a peaceful environment for our families," Tugula said. Chief Inspector Luan praised the initiative and underscored the importance of cooperation between law enforcement and the local community. "Making Assmambu and Back Road safer isn't solely the responsibility of the police. Everyone needs to step up, report crimes, and collaborate with peace committees. A united community is our strongest deterrent to crime," Luan stated. A community spokesperson called on the new Assmambu Chairman to implement strategic plans aimed at removing the area's reputation as a crime hotspot. The ceremony concluded with a shared commitment to change the mindset of the community and set an example for younger generations. Ahi LLG Ward 10 Councilor, Wenti Mineva also emphasized the need for establishing By-Laws in collaboration with the Assmambu community and local landowners. "Anyone who breaches these By-Laws will face strict eviction from Lae City, those who cannot live peacefully will be sent back to their place of origin," Mineva stated.
