Peace, safety and security are vital to build a developed, beautiful and clean country for the next generation. The public should be vigilant and assist the three Forces and Police to fight terrorism, Director of the Community Police Service Colombo Central Police Area SSP I. S. Karunaratne said.

Addressing an awareness programme conducted by the Community Police Service Colombo Police Area - Fort on the current security situation for ANCL employees, SSP Karunaratne said living in peace meant living without terrorism.

"As long as terrorism last, there is no peace," he added.

He stressed the importance of public support and their contributions towards the country's national security. "Terrorists have no mercy, race or ethnicity. They will kill anyone," he added.

The public should be vigilant at public places they work. We all are gifted with sixth sense. We should use this sixth sense to observe and detect terrorist movements. While being vigilant, we can prevent or minimise terrorist activities," PC Abeysinghe said.

He said terrorists are using many ways to destroy and create mayhem in the country.

"They use various ways to enter the Colombo city. By financing the poor and beggars they carry out their activities. Terrorists can approach the target in different ways and methods. If we are cautious and watchful we can avert many diasters and save many lives," he added.
