Lankan Police trainees move to Madhya Pradesh The training of 44 selected Sri Lankan Police officers in Coimbatore, South India has been shifted to an adjoining state following protest from the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi. The special training has been shifted to Madhya Pradesh following protests by Mr. Karunanidhi’s party. Indian High Commission spokesperson Nagma Malik told The Sunday Times the training would go ahead despite reports that the training would be called off and the policemen would have to return to Colombo. “They are certainly not coming back to Sri Lanka,” Ms. Malik said. The protests were lodged on the grounds that the trained policemen will be deployed to suppress the Tamils in the north-east. The 44 police personnel including four high ranking officers were being trained by the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) training academy in Coimbatore in Tamil Nadu. The Sri Lankan High Commission and the CRPF say it is defensive and non lethal policing that is being taught to the visitors as part of frequent exchange training programmes. |
