Sri Lanka Police has requested the electronic media to alert the people by making announcement every half an hour to ensure their safety when traveling in bus, train and other mode of transport. Electronic media has been running their services throughout day and night.

Listeners are increasing daily to see and hear their broadcast and other programmes. Hence the electronic media could play a role in warning the public to notice any suspicious parcels and packages found abandoned in public places and vehicles and inform the Police immediately, police spokesman in Colombo Ranjit Gunaratne said in a press release.
