    Please promote correct wearing of masks. Good that people are wearing masks, but if mask is worn exposing the mouth and nose, it is same as not wearing a mask.

    Good luck Mr. Silva enjoy your retirement.

    This is called a - " Leader " - No Starts but - He won the hearts and minds of the people ( Charismatic leader ) - You do not need to get MBA from a well-known uni to be a leader - Leadership is born and not made

    This is great to see. Well done Sergent

    What a gesture. Hats off to you dear sir, have a good retirement life. These officers should get commendation from higher authorities with added benefits to salary as well. We have only few officers in the whole police service.

    Thank you for publishing this good news story and showing the public kudos to an excellent human being Sargent Chandralal Silva. He is a good example of how we could promote humanity in the country.

    'He must have done something good'! There are diamonds too among rust!!

    Shehan Friday, 14 August 2020 06:44 AM

    Officer and a gentleman. Happy retirement Sir!!!

    R.Suntharalingam Friday, 14 August 2020 06:44 AM

    WE need more like the retiree and more like those who felicitated him.

    Waco Friday, 14 August 2020 06:56 AM

    If he is popular, can not be a good officer.

    Kelum Rajapakse Friday, 14 August 2020 07:05 AM

    Its policemen like this who need to be recognized and promoted to higher positions within the force. Not assigned by political parties. Best wishes dear officer Chandralal Silva

    A rare experience for a Police officer

    Bhatiya Siriwardena Friday, 14 August 2020 08:00 AM

    A healthy sign of what policing is

    NOT ALL THE NAANAS ARE SAHARAANS .... NEEDA ?

    Ranaweera Friday, 14 August 2020 08:45 AM

    This is how our communities should live together. We should respect each other and exchange gratitude. An exemplary police officer. These are the type of people we need as politicians too. But one thing I see in recent photos is that people have forgotten that deadly Corona virus is still out there and just one person is enough to spread it. So guys please exercise caution.

    Sarath Silva Friday, 14 August 2020 08:53 AM

    It's nice to be recognized and appreciated his services by the community on his retirement which means he must have served the community unbiasedly. This is a great example for all sectors individuals. Enjoy your retirement!!!

    L de Silva Friday, 14 August 2020 09:55 AM

    Well done Sergeant! You an example of humanity and bright shinning light to the rest of us! Such a heart warming story and credit to the Police Department of Sri Lanka.

    NImal Friday, 14 August 2020 10:20 AM

    Can all the Police Officers in this country from the very top to the very bottom honestly say they served the nation like this Police Sargent? We wish you all the best for your future Respected Sir.

    Tikai, Hondai. Jayawewa. The way to go in the New Sri Lanka man, the way to go.
