In Nadi, the emphasis on police presence and public safety is becoming increasingly important as holiday crowds swell across the town and its surrounding areas. With the festive season sparking a surge in shopping, outdoor sales, and nighttime activities, local businesses assert that enhanced security is vital for fostering a sense of safety and confidence among customers.
Lawrence Kumar, President of the Nadi Chamber of Commerce, has revealed that the chamber is actively collaborating with the Nadi Police Station to address community safety concerns. “We’ve been in constant contact with the Nadi Police Station. We’ve had a meeting with the ASP of Nandi to ensure the level of security is maintained in town and outside of town as well throughout Nadi,” Kumar stated.
The proactive engagement with law enforcement will play a crucial role this Christmas as the police have pledged to partner with various stakeholders to enhance safety for residents, visitors, and families alike. Kumar emphasized the importance of ensuring that families can enjoy their time together, whether during the day or at night.
As Nadi approaches one of its busiest trading periods, the ongoing collaboration between businesses, local authorities, and the police is deemed essential for maintaining a safe and welcoming environment during the Christmas and New Year celebrations. With these efforts, there is optimism that Nadi can uphold its reputation as a vibrant and secure destination for both locals and tourists during this festive season.
