Deputy Inspector General (DIG) of Traffic Control and Road Safety, W. P. J. Senadheera, has announced that a special security operation will be launched starting on April 1, in view of the upcoming festive season.

He further emphasized that traffic management plans and security measures will be strictly enforced around railway stations and major bus terminals, particularly in Colombo and other key cities.

This special program, commencing on April 1, will remain in effect continuously until the conclusion of the festive season, and until the public has returned from their hometowns to the cities.
