<\/p>\nHama, SANA \u2013 Interior Minister Maj. Gen. Mohammad al-Shaar praised the state of security and calm that prevails across the province of Hama.<\/p>\n
The praise came during a popular meeting he held Thursday with representatives of the various political, administrative, civil and religious bodies in the province, in which al-Shaar put down this state to the remarkably high sense of national awareness shown by the residents.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
An awareness, he went on saying, has guarded Hama against saboteurs and conspirators.<\/p>\n
The Minister’s visit to Hama, he said, came in the framework of “further deepening the atmosphere of security\u2026and stressing that the state is keen on the safety of the residents and their properties.”<\/p>\n
He noted that he has given directions to address some “gaps and violations”, halt “any practices that do wrong to the citizens by whatever party” and use “an iron fist” against corrupt people.<\/p>\n
In another context, the Interior Minister said members of the Internal Security Forces in Syria have set an example of sacrifice to follow throughout the three-year crisis in the country.<\/p>\n
During a meeting with security officers at the Police Command in the province in the framework of his visit, the Minister hailed the efforts and sacrifices that security members have made all over Syria, which he said are held in high esteem by many world countries that talked about them.<\/p>\n
He cited “the heroics” of the defenders of Aleppo Central Prison, which was recaptured by the army after long siege by the terrorist groups, as a recent manifestation of the security forces’ sacrifices.<\/p>\n
