Sri Lanka Police have announced special traffic and security arrangements across the Colombo Central Division from June 26 to July 2 for the Poson Festival.
The measures coincide with the State Poson Festival centered on the historic sacred sites of Anuradhapura’s Atamasthana, Mihintale Temple grounds, and Tantirimale Raja Maha Viharaya.
Within Kompannaveediya, Fort, Maradana, Maligawatte, and Aduruppuveediya police areas, a Poson zone will feature three Bhakthi Gee recitals, 70 lantern displays, and four dansals, with officers deployed for security and traffic management.
For the first time, the Scout Association will organize a Scout Poson Zone along the road from Lake House Roundabout to Police Headquarters on June 28 and 29.
Police have urged the public to use alternative routes provided by traffic officers to ease congestion on main roads during the festival period. (Newswire)
