The Explosive Ordnance Disposal Department (EODD) of the Royal Solomon Islands Police Force (RSIPF) will be conducting Unexploded Ordnance (UXO) operation in Western Province from 21 to 28 October 2024.
The operations will cover the following communities.
- Munda, Noro, Baeroko, Enoghae, and surrounding areas on New Georgia Island
- Ringgi, Teme, Kuzi and surrounding areas on Kolombangara Island
Acting Director of the RSIPF EODD, Inspector Clifford Tunuki said, “It is advisable that these mentioned communities report any sightings of UXOs while the team is visiting your areas so that those war remnants can be dealt with accordingly.”
Director Tunuki said, “Road blocks and safe evacuations of people will be enforced during bomb blasting days.
Inspector Tunuki added, as part of their UXO reduction campaign, they urged everyone to work together with the Police in order to locate, remove and destroy those UXOs that are endangering lives, property and the environment.
“Safety is everyone’s business.”
Mr. Tunuki appeals to the communities in the Western Province and across the country to report any sightings of any bombs.
