Extra security for churches during festive period
Police provided extra security to churches and other places of religious worship on Sunday and Monday (25).
Speaking to journalists to inform them of the security arrangements, Police Media Spokesman SSP Nihal Thalduwa said priests could contact police headquarters via hotline for any assistance on security matters.
He said the army had also been deployed near churches for extra security.
He said that security has been beefed up near places of religious worship since the Easter Sunday terror attacks in 2019. (RK)
