Army Commander Lieutenant General Mahesh Senanayake today requested parents to send their children to school from tomorrow - saying the security had been ensured in the country.

He said although special security measures had been taken at schools to commence the second term, most parents did not send their children to school due to rumours.

He said that providing security to schools was the priority of police and the tri-forces.

“All steps have been taken to provide security to schools. Therefore, I request parents to send their children to schools from tomorrow without any fear,” the Commander said. (Darshana Sanjeewa Balasuriya)

    Then you must also ensure that the schools receive adequate protection. One policeman and one soldier per school are not enough. It is unacceptable that Principals ask parents to provide security even though they have no idea about security or a combat training.

    If the security ensured then why are all by roads sealed up on Galle Road with police bikes when Defenders are going?.
