Defence Secretary Orders Comprehensive Security Measures for Easter Services

Date:

Defence Secretary Air Vice Marshal Sampath Thuiyakontha convened a special meeting on April 17, instructing the Commanders of the Tri-Forces to implement a comprehensive security programme ahead of Easter Sunday.

The measures, he said, must be carried out in close coordination with the Ministry of Public Security to ensure effective execution.

Emphasizing the need for a peaceful and secure environment for religious observance, the Defence Secretary noted that the initiative is aimed at preventing any disruptions similar to the tragic Easter Sunday attacks of 2019.

He stressed that Christians must be able to attend services without fear or inconvenience.
