Secretary to the Ministry of Defence, Air Vice Marshal Sampath Thuyacontha (Retd), has directed the activation of a special Operations Room at the Army Headquarters to ensure public safety and security during the ongoing festive season.
The Ministry of Defence said the Operations Room will remain functional until the conclusion of the festive period and will act as a central coordination hub to facilitate close cooperation among the tri-forces and the Sri Lanka Police.
This enhanced coordination mechanism is intended to ensure a swift and effective response to any security or emergency situations that may arise during the festive season.
According to the Ministry, the initiative will strengthen real-time information sharing, enable timely decision-making and enhance operational readiness across all security agencies. Through this mechanism, authorities will be better equipped to safeguard lives and protect both public and private property.
The Ministry of Defence also reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining a safe and secure environment, allowing the public to celebrate the festive season peacefully and without disruption.
