Senior DIG (Administration and Elections) C.D. Wickramaratne has asked the relevant DIGs to show cause as to why the law was not enforced to prevent seven political processions that were held illegally on Thursday.
According to Police Spokesperson SP Ruwan Gunasekara, the senior officer had taken the decision following media reports regarding these incidents.
Meanwhile, the Police has also decided to set up a separate Hotline at the Child and Women’s Bureau to hear the concerns and complaints of the female contestants at the Local Government election. The decision was made following a discussion at the Election commision.
Gunasekara said that the Police have been instructed to take strict action against those people responsible for organising unlawful processions.
