Flights in and out of the Bandaranaike International Airport (BIA) came to standstill because of an ongoing protest by Immigration officers.

The protest was against the setting up of CCTV cameras at the terminal buildings.

Passengers are also said to be inconvenienced because of the protest. (T.K.G.Kapila)

CCTV cameras are part and parcel of a good security system especially at airports. Highly suspicious as to why Immigration Officers need to protest on such a activity.

If immigration and customs officers protest for establishing CCTV, then there can only be one reason, which is quite obvious to all.

What a shameless protest ! Disciplinary action should be taken against these officers. How can anyone protest against CCTV cameras being installed ? They are admitting that they are crooked !

The most rude and arrogant brutes in SL Govt Service. Think no end of themselves with their uniform on, paid by simple citizens. Must be lots to hide. Why object CCTV otherwise?

Why should those who are employed by Immigration Dept. worry about action of Airports Authority to enhance the security of the airport.Unless o fcourse they feel that their wrongdoings would be exposed!

At the entry point to the country majority of the Immigration Officers who man the counters at the Airport do not greet or smile. The foreigners who are invited or attracted to the Country inuring huge costs under tourist promotion drives have to look at blank faces rather than any welcome sign.Government cannot give into these officers jeopardizing the security and financial interests of the Country.

CCTV විරෝධයක් පසුගියදා කරාපිටිය වෛද්‍ය සිසුන්ගෙන්ද දකින්නට ලැබිණ. එහිදී ඔවුන් විරෝධය පෑවේ තම විභාග ශාලාවල CCTV කැමරා සවි කිරීමට ය. එනම් කරාපිටිය වෛද්‍ය සිසුන් ඉල්ලා සිටියේ ‘අපිට කොපි කිරීමට ඉඩ දීපියව්‘ කීම මිස අන් කවරෙක්ද? මොවුන් මෙවැනි ඉල්ලීමක් ඉල්ලන්නේ රෙදි ඇඳගෙනද යන්න ගැටළුවකි. පුද්ගලික වෛද්‍ය විද්‍යාල වලට එරෙහි වන්නේ මෙවැනි තක්කඩින්ය

They have never been pleasant at any time but rude faces all the time and they never want to accept passengers rather like to pass the passengers to next counter. Even a small shop in the street has fixed CCTV camera these days as we are in most sophisticated world and should have fixed CCTV camera a long time before specially in place like Airport. I'am surprised to see the protest.!
