Security forces have decided to launch 24-hour search operations in several main roads that are frequently used by ministers and parliamentarians, defence sources said today (Jan. 12th). These roads include the Baseline Road, the Colombo-Negombo main road, the Galle Road and the Parliament Road.
Also, road blocks are to be set up in these roads, which will be subjected to round the clock search operations.
Around 10,000 Civil Defence Force personnel are expected to be summoned to Colombo for this purpose, reports say.
The Civil Defence Force Director, Admiral Sarath Weerasekera confirmed that additional numbers of CDF guards posted in the LTTE threatened border villages will be summoned to Colombo.
In addition to the CDF guards, Army soldiers as well as Navy and Air Force personnel will also be deployed as necessary, the source adds.
