March 15, Colombo (LNW): Following the withdrawal of the Police Special Task Force from internal security and rescue operations on expressways, Rakna Arakshaka Lanka Limited (RALL) has been entrusted with these responsibilities. The decision, effective since Wednesday (13), marks a transition in ensuring road safety along expressways.
The Road Development Authority (RDA) disclosed that officers from Rakna Arakshaka Lanka Limited have been deployed for this purpose. The handover comes at an estimated monthly expense of approximately Rs. 12 million.
However, it’s important to note that the security and rescue operations for the section between Mirigama and Kurunegala along the Central Expressway have been delegated to local authorities, as confirmed by the RDA.
