    Dear Mr Pujitha, you deserve it. Clean up the house before inviting the guest. I hope you have the sufficient skill and knowledge come up with to do the drastic changes required in the entire police force in order to bring more closer bond with the public. Wish you all the luck.

    Another positive result due to Yahapalanaya. Wish that the new IGP will be able to restore the honour of the Police Service/Uniform, where educated youth, both male and female will yearn to join the Police Force as a preferred vocation in the near future. Ranjith
