In the wake of escalating killings and robberies across the country, the police, in collaboration with the Special Task Force (STF), have launched special operations to crack down on organized criminals and individuals associated with them, with the aim of completely controlling organized crimes in the country within the next six months, Western Province Senior DIG Deshabandu Tennakoon told.
The authorities have implemented measures to take strict legal action against those involved in organized crimes as Sri Lanka has recently experienced a disturbing increase in shootings, resulting in a significant loss of lives and injuries. According to statistics, 40 people have been killed in shootings so far this year while several more have been injured.
