December 25, Colombo (LNW): Police have issued a strong warning that breaches of environmental laws will be met with uncompromising enforcement, as part of a renewed drive to protect natural resources.
Police Media Spokesperson, Assistant Superintendent of Police F. U. Wootler, said a series of recent operations had already led to the arrest of 23 individuals suspected of violating environmental regulations. The raids, carried out in several areas over the past few days, targeted activities deemed harmful to the environment.
He added that these actions were only the beginning, noting that further inspections and enforcement operations are planned nationwide. Authorities stressed that those who continue to disregard environmental laws should expect swift legal action, as the police step up efforts to deter environmental damage and uphold existing regulations.
