Criminal gangs run amok

 CRIMINAL and drug warlords and their gangs have over-run beautiful Madang. The town is not safe anymore as residents are being intimidated and harassed by these gangs. Many of these gang members have migrated from Lae and the Highlands provinces to be based in Madang. Police presence is virtually non-existent, which renders the residents defenseless to these criminals. Madang residents and business houses desperately government action to combat the increasing crime and lawlessness. Governor Jim Kas and his provincial administration must also take action.
