President Maithripala Sirisena on Sunday requested everyone to continue normal civilian life without falling prey to false news and rumours since the current security situation in the country is at a satisfactory level. The President made this appeal when he attended a meeting with the political leadership in the Galle District, Government Servants and Security Forces representatives held at ‘Dakshina Paya’ building in Galle on Sunday.
This was part of a series of provincial and district level meetings arranged with regional political leadership, Government servants and security officials to apprise them about steps taken to stabilise national security. Similar meetings presided by the President were held in the Eastern Province and the Central Province recently. The Galle and Kalutara district meetings were attended by Ministers, Parliamentarians, Local Government representatives and State officials without any political bias.
