Future curfew measures will depend on public
Deputy Inspector General of Police Ajith Rohana says the extension or easing of curfew regulations will depend on the actions of the public.
DIG Ajith Rohana urged the public to act responsibly and help contain the spread of the virus.
Speaking at the daily media briefing yesterday the DIG said what is most important at present is combating the threat of COVID-19 over one’s freedom.
He urged the public to make sacrifices, adding that quarantine measures in place must not be violated.
The DIG also requested the public to refrain from concealing any symptoms of the coronavirus.
He claimed that persons who fail to adhere to quarantine measures will be arrested and dealt with by the law.
Meanwhile an individual who impersonated a doctor and travelled from Ragama to Matara has been arrested in Malimbada, Matara.
DIG Ajith Rohana said the Police uncovered that the suspect is employed at a private hospital in Ragama.
He said the suspect had a doctor’s sticker pasted on his windscreen and also had a stethoscope on the dashboard of the vehicle.
The DIG stated that travelling between districts is prohibited during curfew and claimed that the individual violated several laws.
The suspect is due to be produced before Court.

this person is a bloody fool does the public wants to sacrifice their vehicles and themselves to him he does not seems to be even computer literate to Know what New Zealand the 1st rated country in the world to combat corona did, they did not have curfew but had all their supermarkets opened from from 8 am to 10 pm for anyone to email the closet supermarket and or for one person to go to the supermarkets and obtained and all their employees worked from home and got their country’s economy going they were not ecouraged to grow their owned food has large farms which feeds the supermarkets does that Job
Hey Engineer Perera.
You may be an Engineer but you are talking through your hat. How can you compare New Zealand with Sri-Lanaka where we have very densely populated areas in most of the country and there are very large supermarketsin NZ so and they can maintain effective social distancing.
Why do you always put people down? Who gives a Sh-t that you are and Engineer. Just write something that makes sense.
Really, Ra-Perera (LOL)….if you are not drinking Ra for breakfast, can you be coherent in what you are saying in this forum?….your rant here makes as much sense to me as what I heard the other day from a drunkard sailor! LMAO!
If you want SL to be another NZ, well, nothing wrong with it, but how can we ever become a NZ with the likes of Yahapalanaya SOBs we had until recently (read: they ruined the economy from 2015-2019 Dec with their warped economic policies, allowed the Central Bank to be robbed – the biggest financial crime in the history of SL – and to cap it all to a grand record, willfully let horrific Islamist Terrorism devastate our nation both in lives lost and economic collapse)! Therefore, dude I think you need to take stock of “where we are at” before allowing your feeble brain to rattling off and make a noise inside your, evidently, empty skull! LMAO!
FYI, NZ’s supermarkets, like in many ‘western’ nations, allowing customers to order groceries on-line is nothing new and your retarded mind must be reminded that such initiatives, wherever, were commercial marketing initiatives (albeit heightened with more facilities due to COVID-19) launched by those private enterprises, and not necessarily something any state government initiated! Having said that, I am happy to see now some of the major supermarkets in SL too have initiated such programs.
Simon,
The campaign to set up the Yahapalana Government was spearheaded by a Buddhist monk.
The current leadership was brought into power by the Sinhala Buddhist majority vote.
Doesn’t this confirm that Sinhala Buddhists are incapable of governing the country?
Thuleepan Soma,
You separatist goon! How dare you place present Govt with Yahapalana in the same basket?
Yahapalana came to power with separatist votes, jihadist votes.
They all ganged together and looted the nation.
For the first time in the nation’s history, the nation has a Government elected by Sinhala Buddhist majority vote without and separatist or jihadist support.
We will show you, Thuleepan, energy and power of the Sinhala Lion.
Get ready for Nanthikadaal chapter 2, my dear pal.
T Soma,
Thank you for your stupidity.
Please go and say goodbye to Nallur Skanda, pack your bags with your father-in-law and brother-in-law in Chunnakam and swim the Palk Strait to the motherland where you came from and grow Kerala Ganja for your masters in Tamil Nadu for Rs 5 a day!
Don’t stay here, you kalla-thoni, and preach separatist stupidity, you fool.
