A team of 15 police officers from Sri Lanka are currently taking part in a training programme on Road Safety and Traffic Management at the Institute of Road Traffic Education (IRTE) in Faridabad, India.
The training programme which is fully-funded by the Government of India, saw officers from the ranks of Chief Inspector of Police, Inspector of Police, Sub-inspector of Police and Police Sergeant among the Lankan delegation.
In a media release, the Indian High Commission said the Government of India provided complimentary travel and accommodation, as a gesture of strengthening people-to-people contact between India and Sri Lanka.
The training programme which commenced on September 3 will conclude on September 14.
Several other training programmes such as Crime Scene Management and CCTV Analysis, Expert Testimony on Criminal Trial, Forensic Science, Cyber Forensics, and a seminar on Financial Crime, have been organised by India for Sri Lanka’s Police Force this year, the release said.
A Sri Lankan man was apprehended at Suvarnabhumi airport for attempting to smuggle wildlife out of the country after three ball pythons were found hidden in his underwear, the Bangkok post reported.
