The Sri Lanka Police has requested parents to remain vigilant of the whereabouts of their children, especially minors, due to illegal activities planned for valentines day targeting such children.
Police spokesman SSP Nihal Thalduwa told the media today that several events are being organized targeting minors, especially via social media.
Stating that there are no prohibitions on organizing events to commemorate special days, he said, however, raids will be conducted on parties organized via social media.
SSP Thalduwa said that the raids will be conducted to ensure that the parties do not contain the use of narcotics and the involvement of minors.
He added that this was a preventive measure taken by the Police as there have been repeated occurrences of such events in the past. (NewsWire)
