Why not a new Police unit is established to take action against Pradeshiya Sabha members? Considering the ever increasing cases against them I feel it is a must. It can be established in the next room to the Religious Police or even at every Police station in the country!

Those who promoted these rogues as PS members also need to be punished.

You cannot blame only those people who nominated these misfits. We the voters who elected these goons also should take equal blame. We got what we deserved. via DM iPad app
