September 15, Colombo (LNW): A comprehensive security programme has been introduced to ensure safety and stability during and after the upcoming presidential election.
This initiative, spearheaded by the Ministry of Public Security, involves collaboration with all key security agencies to formulate a robust strategy aimed at addressing any potential challenges throughout the electoral process.
In anticipation of various scenarios that could unfold, the programme is designed to be both preventative and responsive.
Measures have been laid out to mitigate risks and maintain order, thereby providing a secure environment for voters and officials alike.
The Ministry has emphasised that this plan encompasses the entire electoral timeline, from the pre-election period to the days following the polls, ensuring a seamless transition regardless of the election’s outcome.
Moreover, the Ministry has announced that the tri-forces—army, navy, and air force—are on standby to support the police force as required.
This coordinated approach underscores the government’s commitment to safeguarding the democratic process and ensuring that public order is maintained throughout this crucial period.
The authorities have urged the public to remain calm and cooperative, reassuring them that all necessary precautions are in place to manage any disturbances effectively.
