Security convoy of president ... reduced to 3 from 20
It was reported that Mr. Gotabhaya Rajapaksa has decided to limit the number of vehicles of his convey, it was reported. An ambulance too is included in the convey comprising somewhere between 15 and 20 and now according to the latest decision of president Gotabhaya Rajapaksa the number of those vehicles are to be limited to 2 or 3. Where other vehicles are concerned, a few police
motor bicycles would be in attendance. It was also decided to remove the tradition of closing down the relevant route when the security convoy is in operation. Accordingly, the number of security vehicles of ministers and MPs following on these footsteps would be decreased and the 'VIP traffic' which incidentally was a headache to the public during the war-period and the period 2010 - 15 would no longer 'in vogue' any more.
