Police warns public amid reports of attacks in villages: Don’t take the law into your hands
The Police yesterday requested the public not to take the law into their own hands but let the law enforcement personnel handle incidents of criminality. Police Spokesman SP Prishantha Jayakody said several incidents of residents attacking individuals arriving in their villages for sight-seeing and other purposes have been reported from several areas.
These attacks are being carried out by the villagers under the false notion of a Grease Yaka which is a myth and a scapegoat for other misdoings, he added in a statement.
SP Jayakody also said that certain individuals were using the opportunity to avenge personal grudges, spread false rumours and engage in such activities for their own amusement.
“At a time when a peaceful atmosphere prevails and people move freely to all parts since the end of terrorism and as intelligent citizens living in a country where hospitality towards both local and foreign travellers is of the highest order, the Police request the people to act in a more responsible and a disciplined manner”, he said. The Police Spokesman also warned that there was no leniency in the law for mythical tales. “Those who take law into their own hands and carry out such attacks would be punished irrespective of their status”, he added.

We could understand that the GOSL is an inefficient capacity to protect the people. That is the reason, try to protect the bloody “X Men”. It may be in line with the hidden agenda.
On the other hand, this could be handled by the Police, why they need to send the Army to the respective location. All should think about this arrangement. Two things, I can say.
1. This is in line with hidden agenda
2. If not, Police has not sufficient capacity to handle this situation.
Dear Dinuk,
I fully disagree with you, because this a small issue and no need to blame the GOSL. The GOSL has already taken correction measures to eradicate the issue and It will come an end soon.

Dinuk,
I do agree there appears to be a hidden agenda.
Soon, the Defence Secretary will launch an Army led “Grease Yakka War – 1” against the “terrorists” which will massacre all and sundry in the affected areas resulting in civilian casualties 40,000+.
As Demala Chelvan says, there’s no difference at all between the “Settapochchi” Sun God and the blood thirsty Blue Brothers.
Hmm ! This is another event in Sri Lanka (among millions of others) where Gotabaya has a hand, according to some LTTE boot lickers. They suffer from this inferiority complex and having a never-satisfying drive until they see the dead body of Gotabaya just because he eradicated almost all LTTE terrorists, so the income of those LTTE boot lickers have dried up. Therefore even if a crow cries on a tree now it is Gotabaya’s fault. If a river overflows then Gotabaya has a hidden agenda. If a union strikes, then Gotabaya has another hidden agenda. I think these guys are suffering from Gotaforbia !
Ha Ha, now it is clear that this fake Julian and Demala Chelvan are the same LTTE boot licker (posing different names) who has nothing else but to say 40,000+ deaths (or “genocide”) on almost every one of their posts, regardless of the topic.
Now we’ll see a post from this fake Julian saying he is the most pure-bread sinhalese ever. Yeah ! we know !
Well said Manjula! I heartily endorse your views, specially that DC and JS are one and the same. DC uses a fictitious Sinhala name, JS. The views expressed are one and the same in the same style of prose. Hence the cat is let out of the bag that DC and JS are one and the same kallathoni individual.
DC/JS and his kallathoni ilk are still smarting at the total rout and carnage of the LTTE terrorists by our noble heroic defence forces under the able leadership of Hon President and Hon Defence Sec. Hence these bloodthirsty Tamil kallathoni devils will never rest until they massacre an equivalent number of our heroic forces and our Hon leaders, one way or another.
Come what may. We are ready for it to take on all comers!
Ha ha, now I understand Manjula is a “maha Modayo”
Imran, ni ara paithyan. Ni poda pandri kutti. You are a typical LTTE boot licker.
