Union Assurance commences Crime Prevention Project
Displaying the importance of Corporate Social Responsibility Union
Assurance PLC commenced its 7th Phase in Eastern Province by installing
crime prevention awareness boards.
This is a unique project Union Assurance started together with the
Sri Lanka Police in order to minimize the crime rate in the country by
erecting display boards with the telephone numbers of the relevant
Police Stations to encourage citizens to call and inform the authorities
when they detect crime. This also helps the motorist to identify the
relevant Police area they are in.
This unique project initially started out from the Western Province
of the island in 2005 and gradually extended as an island wide project,
covering the Provinces all right through, including the Western, North
Western, Southern, Central, Sabaragamuwa, North Central, Provinces, also
extending towards the East of the island. A total of 234 crime
prevention boards have already been mounted throughout the island.
Union Assurance handed over the continuous maintenance of the
hoardings and sheltered checkpoints to an authoritative agency, in order
to assure that the already existing hoardings and checkpoints never get
abandoned & are maintained in proper condition.
This project was navigated by Mahinda Gunesekara - Manager Marketing
Operations of Union Assurance PLC. He thanked Deshamanya Rienzie Perera
- Deputy Inspector General of Police and the Sri Lanka Police Department
for the support in making this a reality.
