A new team to administer the Anuradhapura prison has been appointed with immediate effect, Prisons Commissioner General Major General V.R De Silva said.

“The Chief Jailer and the Chief Superintendent have not been replaced but I have appointed a senior officer above them to take charge of the prison”, he said.

Two inmates are seriously injured and one of them was transferred to the Colombo National Hospital to undergo a surgery, he added.

Eight prison officers and 13 inmates were injured and only one person was killed during the clash, Major General De Silva said.

Division Four DIG Jayantha Gamage said that the police have recorded statements from both sides and a report will be handed over to the Magistrate. The post mortem of the victim is to be carried out today. (Supun Dias)

    Another Senior Officer, isn't this a waste of public money? Why the Chief Jailer and the Superintendent cannot be replaced without having another third person.
