Some 900 officers of the Presidential Security Division (PSD) have been moved to other police divisions on a directive by President Gotabaya Rajapaksa to trim PSD numbers.

Accordingly, Acting Inspector General of Police (IGP) C. D. Wickramaratne informed the former PSD officers to name two divisions where they would be willing to work. Police sources said the IGP had ordered to move the 900 PSD officers with immediate effect on November 24 and had later adjusted the order allowing the officers to name two divisions where they would be willing to work.

Sources said the group to be transferred included two senior superintendents of police, four superintendents of police, five assistant superintendents of police and seven chief inspectors. (Indika Ramanayaka)

Ammo 900! No wonder the country suffered a security laps in April. All this time only one man was protected by the entire force and not the public

They should be sent to,not where they like to go, but where shortage of personnel are. There are many Police stations around the country that can do with a few more hands around.

If you all selected by peoples why you want security.You all selected to help country people and develop the country, not for your own self. But Srilankan M.P. thinking own personnel matters only. and make money. It should be stopped. OUR NEW PRESIDENT'S THOUGHT WAS VERY GOOD MUST STOP ALL UNWANTED EXP. KEEP IT UP OUR HON.PRESIDENT.

In this banana republic the status of a politico is measured by the length of his security detail and the number of security personal around him......so they think.
