Colombo (Daily Mirror) - The Constitutional Council has given its nod to the appointment of Deshabandu Tennakoon as the Acting Inspector-General of Police (IGP). 

The approval, granted on Friday (Dec. 01), comes on the heels of Tennakoon officially assuming his duties on the morning of November 30, just a day after his appointment.

Formerly serving as the Senior Deputy Inspector General of Police (SDIG) responsible for the Western Province, Tennakoon has big shoes to fill as the acting IGP.
