January 20, Colombo (LNW): Sri Lanka Police have rolled out a new set of telephone contact points to encourage the public to share information in support of a nationwide anti-narcotics campaign planned for 2026.
Police headquarters said the initiative is designed to allow members of the public to pass on intelligence directly to officers heading regional and divisional units, strengthening ground-level enforcement against illegal drugs.
The scheme focuses on substances that continue to pose a serious threat across the country, including heroin, crystal methamphetamine, cocaine and cannabis.
By creating direct lines of communication with divisional police leadership, authorities hope to improve the speed and accuracy of information flow, particularly from communities most affected by narcotics-related crime.
Police officials stressed that public cooperation will be critical to the success of next year’s operations and assured informants that details provided will be handled with due confidentiality.
The new contact numbers are being made available through police divisions nationwide as part of a broader strategy to curb drug trafficking and related criminal activity.
