Women Police officers would be issued a newly designed uniform comprising a trouser and a shirt in addition to the one they are currently wearing for official duties, police said.

Women Constables/ Sergeants will be issued trousers and shirts while women police officers in the rank of Inspector and Superintendent will be issued trousers and bush coats.

The new uniforms will also be Khaki.

The Law and Order Ministry Secretary had approved the new style uniform which had been recommended by the Police Chief. (Lahiru Pothmulla)

What if I by mistake call one them "Ralahamy" as I cannot see the difference after they wear trousers?

There should be more women police safeguarding the rights of children and women in Sri Lanka. A separate women DIG should take charge of all theirs promotions and complains. via DM iPad app

Khaki is the colour selected by British rulers...(Khak is the hindi word for dust)...In 1800 indian arm forces dye their uniform with mud and sand water,,, and later uniform manufacturers used sand colour dyes..

Waste of money, its not important what they wear - it is important how they perform the entrusted duties up to the satisfaction of the public. Changing the uniform will not make any difference, if they are duty oriented.
