Corpus further said police will be working hand in hand with auxiliaries for traffic control and direction wherein, volume of students will travel to and from the various schools in the different provinces/cities.
“Once again, I am calling for the cooperation of the public to prevent any crime in the community especially in our learning institutions by providing authorities relevant and timely information to us,” he added. (Ric Sapnu/PNA)
