Every police post that has been set up in each District Secretariat
for special election duty at the forthcoming General Election, will be
headed by an IP, the head of the Police Election Secretariat, Senior DIG
Gamini Nawarathna said.
He further added that all these IPs are appointed to assist the
returning officers in the districts to hold a free and fair election.
All complaints could be directed to these officers and they have been
vested with full powers to take action without any outside interference,
he said.
By yesterday, 20 election complaints have been reported and all these
were minor in nature, the DIG said. |
