The Fiji Police Force will leave no stone unturned in its bid to get through the 14-day Suva lockdown period without any major incident.
Police Commissioner Brigadier-General Sitiveni Qiliho said as of yesterday morning, they had erected road blocks at the three main entry points into Suva.
This was after Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama announced a lockdown in the greater Suva area closing off entry and exit at Delanavesi Bridge on the Queen’s Road, the Sawani junction, and the Nausori Bridge.
