Colombo, December 24 (Daily Mirror) - The government is committed to combating the underworld and drug trafficking, but not by staging frequent operations for show, Cabinet Spokesman Minister Nalinda Jayatissa said.
Addressing the weekly briefing to announce Cabinet decisions, he said that the government has already initiated steps to suppress the underworld, and the results will be visible in the future.
“All security forces are working systematically to curb the underworld and drug trafficking. Preliminary steps have already been taken to implement the programme,” he said.
“It is not necessary to discuss the specific measures being undertaken by the government. What matters is the outcome. All we can say for now is that the relevant measures are in progress. Let’s wait and see the results in the future,” the Minister added.
