November 02, Colombo (LNW): The Sri Lanka Police have announced plans to re-evaluate the security provisions allocated to former presidents, indicating that further adjustments may be made as necessary.
Police Spokesperson DIG Nihal Thalduwa clarified that this decision follows a review prompted by recent public and official requests regarding the matter.
According to DIG Thalduwa, the recent notifications on reducing security measures were issued based on the recommendations of a committee formed by the Ministry of Public Security.
This committee was tasked with assessing the current security requirements and identifying any potential areas where security details could be reduced without compromising safety.
Thalduwa further assured that any forthcoming protests or additional requests from the public or relevant authorities will be considered by the committee, which will make determinations in response to evolving security needs.
This process, he explained, is part of a comprehensive effort to ensure a balanced approach to security management for former heads of state.
