Source discrepancies

The ANTARA report, the cited source, numbers the battalion two ways. Its headline reads "Satgas Pamtas RI-PNG Yonif 126/KC menemukan ladang ganja di Keerom" and it names the task force commander as "Dansatgas Pamtas RI-PNG Yonif 126/KC Letkol Inf. Dwi Widodo". Its first sentence reads "Satgas Pamtas RI-Papua Nugini (PNG) Yonif 127/KC menemukan ladang ganja siap panen". This news item gives the battalion as 126.

Quantities

The report describes "ladang ganja siap panen seluas 5 hektare" (in English: a cannabis field ready for harvest, 5 hectares in area) with "ratusan pohon ganja siap panen" (in English: hundreds of cannabis plants ready for harvest). It says "hanya 50 pohon ganja yang berhasil diamankan" (in English: only 50 cannabis plants were secured). This news item carries 5 hectares as the area and 50 plants as the number secured.

Place

The report is datelined "Jayapura (ANTARA)" and places the field "di Distrik Waris, Kabupaten Keerom, Papua" (in English: in Waris District, Keerom Regency, Papua). The task force commander gave the location as "sekitar 4 kilometer dari Pos Waris, atau terletak antara Kampung Paitenda dan Banda" (in English: about 4 kilometres from the Waris post, or between Kampung Paitenda and Banda). This news item places the event in Keerom and names Paitenda as the locality.
