Meditation for police from 8.30am - 9 am on weekdays

News

Probably for the first time in the more than 150-year history of the Police, the gates at Police headquarters are shut from 8.30 a.m. to 9 a.m. from Monday to Friday, every week for a religious purpose.
It came on the orders of Police Chief Pujith Jayasundera. He wants all officers, policemen and women, to begin work after meditation.

Similar orders have also gone out to Police Divisions countrywide. A witty senior officer had this to say: “There are 85,000 police officers of all ranks in the department. If one goes by the daily loss of half an hour a day, the man hours lost by the force would add up to 42,500 hours a day.”

Of course, that is not to mention the public who would be kept waiting every morning until the meditation period is over. Thereafter, they would have to ensure that their own prayers are answered. Something to ponder while meditating.
