900 cops to secure MassKara festival

• GILBERT P. BAYORAN

More than 900 police officers will be deployed in Bacolod City to secure the MassKara Festival, on Friday disclosed regional police director, PBrig. Gen. Jack Wanky.

The proposed implementation of a gun ban for the duration of MassKara Festival has yet to be approved by Camp Crame, Wanky said.

The sendoff ceremony for 900 policemen, including other law enforcement agencies, has been scheduled for October 10.

Wanky also ordered an intensified campaign against the proliferation of illegal drugs in highly urbanized Bacolod City, following the confiscation of P544,000 worth of suspected shabu from an arrested drug suspect on Oct. 3 in Barangay Banago, Bacolod City.

The Police Regional Office 6 is aiming for a zero fatality rate during the MassKara festivities in Bacolod City.*
