By: Isuru Parakrama

Colombo (LNW): Public Security Minister Tiran Alles has instructed Inspector General of Police (IGP) C.D. Wickramarathne to immediately relieve Police personnel deployed for certain places and persons who do not require protection and reattach them to the respective Police stations.

That being said, the Minister has instructed the IGP to take the necessary steps after making a proper assessment on the said parties whether they actually require protection.

The Minister’s instructions come in upon considering the facts presented by a number of MPs at the Ministerial Advisory Working Committee on Public Security revealing that there is a shortcoming of duty at Police stations after deploying a huge number of Police officers for the protection of parties that do not require protection.
