Good move to express freedom of movement in our country to attract more tourists but can a survillance cam be equal to eyes and brain of a human? Govt should find other alternatives too to ensure security of the city. If freedom of movement insecures the city, then some diaster happens, it could give message to world that SL is still not safe.

Its a good sign that the country is coming back to normal. Cameras can only spot suspicious vehicles they cannot peer into what is inside the boot of a car, van or lorry.
