New IGP aims to combat crime by ANTON NONIS The new Inspector General of Police, T.E. Anandarajah, soon after assuming duties commended the Constitutional Council for doing justice to him. Mr. Anandarajah told the 'Sunday Observer' that the members of the Constitutional Council had acted in a fair and impartial manner by taking into consideration all the pros and cons of the two contenders for the Inspector General's post. "They did not even know me, nor did I know them. It was a decision they had purely made on merit on the recommendation of President Chandrika Bandaranaike Kumaratunga." Regarding his action plan as the new Inspector General of Police, Mr. Anandarajah said that he would come down hard on all trouble-makers in society. His first wish was to put an end to crime that had plagued the country to an alarming level. Some of the areas that special attention should be focused are thefts and robberies, rape, underworld activities which are rampant apart from contract killings and other types of organised crime. He assured that offenders will be dealt with firmly according to the law without fear or favour. He said he would straightaway buckle down to the task of reducing the crime wave from next week. All the DIGs, Senior Superintendents and other high ranking officials in the police will be briefed on how to effectively deal with the situation. |
