Following the recent retirement of DIG Chula De Silva who was heading the Sri Lanka Police Traffic Division, the Police has failed to appoint a successor yet to the vacant post. While DIG De Silva retired on December 6, no officer has been appointed to take up the job despite that almost a week has elapsed since his departure.
According to Police sources while DIG Chula De Silva had formally requested for a service extension he was not granted his request due to top political interference.
However, the Police are said to be in turmoil now as there appears to be no suitable candidate for the job. The outgoing DIG was highly experienced in the area of Traffic Management.
No acting DIG has been appointed as well with Senior DIG Crime and Traffic Management, Nandana Munasinghe having to overlook the division now amidst his workload.
Reports also claim that the names of the heads of the Criminal Records Division (CRD) and the Terrorist Investigation Division (TID) have been suggested for the post but no final decision has been made yet.
