Sri Lankan government said the Higher Security Zones extended during the war cannot be removed completely overnight although some High Security Zones have already been narrowed as the government has to ensure safety of all citizens in the country.
Addressing a group of journalists from North and East who visited Colombo, Director General of Media Centre for National Security Lakshman Hulugalle said the government will never compromise on national security despite the war is being over.
Hulugalle welcoming the group of journalists said that although the armed struggle was eliminated, the former combatants may be using the weapons in their possession in robberies and other crimes.
The security forces are daily recovering hauls of weapons hidden or abandoned by terrorists, Hulugalle said, adding that the government will solve this problem to ensure the safety of the people.
Military Spokesman Major General Ubaya Madewela, said High Security Zones in Kokavil, Muhamalei, Tilappom on Jaffna ‐ Kankasanthurai road have been removed and former residents have been resettled. The Security Forces have provided them with facilities including foods.
Hulugalle requested the visiting journalists to be responsible in their media roles and not to distort the facts and be genuine and honest to strengthen inter communal unity and help national bridge � building.
