Police Chief Mahinda Balasuriya reportedly tendered his resignation to President Mahinda Rajapksa, unconfirmed reports stated.

When contacted Director General of the Media Center for National Security (MCNS) Lakshman Hulugalla said that he would issue a press release if and when the Presidential Secretariat confirms the resignation.

This comes days after the clash in Katunayake took place, between a group of garment workers of the Katunayake Free Trade Zone and the police, which left 15 policemen and officers including a DIG and dozens of garment workers injured.

The President ordered a probe into how police officers were sent to Free Trade Zone (FTZ) on Monday despite orders issued by Defense Secretary to not send them. (SD & SAJ)

But the question is, do we have any efficient good policemen left? They have all been forced to leave or are kept suppressed.

Surely, the IGP who has been acting to the tune of the "regime" would not have sent policemen to the FTZ if he was not instructed to put down the strike with force. Now the blame falls on him! All the other stooges of the regime should act according to their conscience in future. This is a good lesson for all the govt. lackeys.
