The violence in Monaragala District in relation to the Uva PC election is severe when compared with that of Badulla District but it would not deter the election being held in the two districts says the Commissioner of elections Mahinda Deshapriya.
Speaking at a meeting of police officers, election officials, government officials, officials of the Human Rights Commission and the media held at Monaragala District Secretariat the Commissioner of Elections said the police are a batch of licensed fighters and said, “You have to continue the work during the next ten days. Carry out the election law to the letter without any fear. Don’t allow any illegal acts. Those police officers who do their duty would be protected by the Police Commission and the Human Rights Commission. I would vouch for it.”
