B’ville relatives called on to submit names

By SEPHANIE ELIZAH
RELATIVES of Bougainville passengers who travelled on the ill-fated mv Rabaul Queen have been asked to submit the names of their family members they knew were on the ferry’s trip from Kimbe to Lae.
Bougainville disaster and emergency coordinator Franklyn Lacey requested for the names because of the inaccuracy of the manifest supplied by the shipping company.
“Please make this effort so that we have information on all our citizens,” Lacey said.
He said as of yesterday, his officers had confirmed 64 Bougainville survivors at the care centre in Lae.
He urged relatives to contact the Buka information centre at the local level government building on telephone 973 9953 or 727 73778 or visit the office to register the passengers.
Lacey appealed to survivors from the mv Rabaul Queen, who had left Lae for other provinces after being rescued, to contact his office to register.
