Sri Lankan authorities have urged the public to surrender swords and large knives amid heightened security concerns following the deadly Easter Sunday bombings last month.
The Media Unit of Sri Lanka Police said the public has time until Sunday to handover any swords and knives at the nearest police stations.
The police also requested not to park vehicles after 1.00 p.m. on Sunday near any schools in Colombo as special search operations were scheduled to be conducted in those areas.
Law enforcement authorities have seized a large number of weapons from various parts of the island nation.
The call came as investigations into the deadly bombings continue whilst law enforcement authorities have recovered a large number of weapons from various parts of the country.
