The army is keen on taking actions in this regard and the tri-forces will contribute to this purpose by providing necessary intelligent information to the police, he further said.

The main responsibility in suppressing organized crimes lies with the police and the army would support this in every aspect under a legal frame, the Army Commander further assured.
