President vows to strengthen measures against organised crime and drug abuse
March 18, Colombo (LNW): President Anura Kumara Dissanayake has outlined a series of decisive steps aimed at tackling organised crime and drug abuse in Sri Lanka.
During a meeting with the police chiefs of the Western Province at the Presidential Secretariat, the President highlighted the urgent need for both enhanced facilities and the introduction of new, stringent legislation to address these growing issues.
In his address, President Dissanayake stressed the critical role of the Police Department in upholding the rule of law, asserting that the maintenance of law and order is a fundamental responsibility of the police force.
He pointed out that without the supremacy of the law, establishing a fair and just society in Sri Lanka would remain an unattainable goal.
The President’s commitment to tackling organised crime and drug-related offences aligns with his broader vision of creating a safer, more equitable nation.
As part of his administration’s efforts, he promised to prioritise the necessary resources and legal reforms to combat these challenges effectively, ensuring a more secure environment for all citizens.
