Despite curfew being imposed in the Kandy district, the public allege that destructive forces continue to run rampage ignoring the imposed curfew and the Police along with the armed forces.
When questioned by ISIS news, a senior officer of the Police said despite a state of emergency being imposed the government nor the security forces have given the Police clear instructions on how to act.
According to the officer the Police are now reluctant to act according to powers given to them as those who have so acted are now in prison. “The Police can resolve these in a day or two” he said adding that however the IGP too has not provided any clear instructions in this regard. “He only bothers about meditating and the Police does not have a proper leadership anymore” he said. According to him therefore the Police have become mere witnesses to the incidents.
