Police Launch New Hotlines for Public to Report Drug-Related Activity

Date:

October 04, Colombo (LNW): Sri Lankan police have introduced a set of new telephone hotlines aimed at strengthening the national crackdown on illegal narcotics.

Announced yesterday (03), the initiative allows members of the public to directly share information on drug-related activity with senior law enforcement officials across the island.

The public can now report incidents involving substances such as heroin, crystal methamphetamine (commonly known as ‘ice’), cocaine, cannabis, and other illicit drugs via specially designated contact numbers.

These lines will connect callers directly to the offices of Senior Deputy Inspectors General (SDIGs) overseeing regional police ranges, as well as Senior Superintendents of Police (SSPs) responsible for divisional command.

Authorities have urged citizens to use the hotlines responsibly and in good faith, noting that community cooperation is vital to tackling the spread of narcotics.
