Akuressa , September 9 (Daily Mirror)- A 44-year-old woman, the daughter of late Provincial Minister P.B. Dissanayake, was arrested in Galenbindunuwewa, Akuressa, after 28 rounds of live ammunition were discovered at her residence.

P.B. Dissanayake, the former politician, passed away in 2000. Recently, his 11-year-old grandson was caught by a teacher while playing with live ammunition. The teacher reported the incident to the school principal, who subsequently notified the police.

Following an investigation prompted by the student's information, Galenbindunuwewa police raided the house and uncovered a cache of ammunition, including 17 rounds of T-56, 10 rounds of 9mm and various rounds of ammunition for other revolvers. The ammunition was reported to be unusable.

The woman was produced before courts and remanded till September 10.

Today, in Sri Lanka, any form of criminality, thuggery and corruption is by State entities rather than ordinary normal people. This is a serious issue.

Probably these belong to the politician who passed away in 2000.

Politicians should never be given arms and ammunition as they are not in the forces and have enough police protection. This should be stopped by the new government.
