A three-way competition is underway for the post of Inspector General of Police (IGP) which is expected to become vacant soon.
According to Lankadeepa, Senior DIG-in-Charge (SDIG) of the Western Province Deshabandu Tennakoon, SDIG in charge of the North Western Province Lalith Pathinayake, and former Police spokesman and SDIG Ajith Rohana are vying for the post of IGP.
Incumbent IGP C. D. Wickremeratne is expected to retire on the 20th of March after completing his tenure.
Lankadeepa reported that sources from the President’s Secretary’s Office have revealed that a group of senior ministers have written to President Ranil Wickremesinghe providing recommendations on behalf of the three contesting SDIGs. (NewsWire)
