Security in and around Ruwanweliseya in Anuradhapura was  beefed up yesterday afternoon on an anonymous call that an individual  was preparing to launch a bomb attack.   

A woman from Kurunegala area had given a telephone call to the police emergency 119.    The Police took immediate steps to beef up security in the area and launched a search operation.    However, the police said no suspicious individual or object was found in the compound of Ruwanweliseya or its  surroundings.    A senior police official said they initiated investigations  to identify the woman responsible for false information and that legal  action would be taken against her.
