The Vanni Security Forces Head Quarters has conducted over 400 sessions to educate villagers regarding the myth of the ‘Grease Monster’ to make them vigilant to the threats that could be leveled by criminals exploiting the situation. These sessions were held covering most of the villages in Vavuniya, Mannar, Weli Oya and Anuradhapura with the support of Civil Committees.
Military Spokesman Brigadier Nihal Hapuarachchi said that the Army has been instructed to conduct sessions with support of the Police and Divisional Secretariats to educate the public in this connection.
An officer of the Security Forces Headquarters Vanni stated that the sessions are planned to be extended. The sessions are designed to make the public aware of the possibility of the criminals exploiting this created situation to commit various crimes. The public were instructed to be vigilant and seek the support of the authorities if there were any suspicious incident.
These Civil Committees were in operation at the village level even during the height of the operations against terrorism to make the villagers vigilant of the elements that would affect the security of the villages.
These Committees have been restrengthened in the Eastern Province, in certain areas of Uva Province, parts of the Vanni including Vavuniya, Mannar, Weli Oya and Anuradhapura. (Courtesy: Daily News)
