The National Police Commission (NPC) has approved the transfer of six senior DIGs, while recommending the temporary stationing of another, Ajith Rohana, to the police headquarters.

President Ranil Wickremesinghe said today (26) that Sri Lanka has been able to win back the trust of foreign banks and financial institutions.

Senior DIG of Southern province Ajith Rohana has refused to abide by the transfer order made by the Ministry of Public Security, saying that he is not bound to do so.

Both India and the US had wanted Ranil Wickremesinghe removed as prime minister after Gotabaya Rajapaksa resigned from presidency, claimed NFF leader Wimal Weerawansa.

Former president Maithripala Sirisena says it is unreasonable to blame him over the Easter Sunday terror attacks since the suspects are in custody.

An internal investigation is underway into a sexual harassment accusation by a news presenter of state-owned ITN who has since resigned, according to media minister Bandula Gunawardena.

Seven senior DIGs have been transferred with immediate effect on a recommendation by the secretary to the public security ministry with covering approval by the Police Commission.

Noting that the school education system in Sri Lanka should be revised and improved, President Ranil Wickremesinghe said that with 13 years of education, the country needs to strive towards a more successful education system like that of America, where regular and advanced level exams are not held but rather the Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT) and school report are considered.

The final report by a presidential commission that inquired into the Easter Sunday terror attacks has been given to the Catholic Bishops Conference, said public security minister Tiran Alles.
