It was the second night of the major New Year Special Operations.
We met with police at the Badili roadblock.
Police continued with their traffic checks and other alcohol-related incidents.
We caught up with motorist, Mikes Wanagi, who said police were doing a tremendous job at the road blocks, helping to stop nuisance to from intoxicated people.
” It’s a time to be responsible when consuming alcohol- the police are doing a fine job keeping the roads safe,” Wanagi tells us.
Security personnel, Thomas Mark, who has been residing in Port Moresby since 2007, said compared to previous years, 2017 was the most peaceful.
A drive to downtown Port Moresby, two other security personnel, were also busy manning their spots.
