All 251 policemen and Sri Lanka Army soldiers deployed to protect the Mihintale sacred area will be withdrawn today, State Minister of Defence Pramitha Bandara Tennakoon told Parliament.
This follows a complaint by the Chief incumbent who said two soldiers who were not officially assigned were found.
He expressed doubts that may be a conspiracy to assassinate him.
But the State Minister denied the claim and said they were deployed for intelligence duties and that was not unusual.
Customs have detected 228 mobile phones and tabs valued at over Rs 30 million left behind in the duty free shopping complex at the Banaranaike International Airport today, Customs officials said.
