Sri Lanka Police on Tuesday (02 Jan.) introduced a hotline for the public to provide information in relation to the ongoing massive anti-drug operation ‘Yukthiya’, which is being carried out across the island.
The hotline was introduced under the directive of the Acting Inspector General of Police (IGP) Deshabandu Tennakoon, while stickers displaying the relevant hotline number were also pasted on the back of three-wheelers today.
Accordingly, the public has been urged to contact the Police Headquarters via the phone number 071 859 8800 if they have any information about drug-related offenders or underworld activities.
The island-wide operation was launched in December 2023, on the instructions of Public Security Minister Tiran Alles and Acting IGP Deshabandu Tennakoon, in a bid to eradicate drug trafficking, organized crime and other related offences in the country.
