The Sri Lankan police asked the public to remain alert to and inform police of 'suspicious terrorist activities' at a press briefing by the police spokesperson, Ajith Rohana on Thursday.
Rohana 'asked the public to be vigilant and advised not to extend any support to suspected terrorists or organizations supporting the revival of terrorism in the country', reported Colombo Page.
'The security forces are responsible to prevent resurgence of terrorism and repeal the attempts made by some elements to create ethnic and religious disharmony in the country', the news site further quoted Rohana as saying.
Referring to the proscription of fifteen Tamil diaspora groups and over 400 individuals, Rohana told journalists that Interpol had been informed and Red Notices issued, reported the Daily Mirror.
Speaking in Sinhala, Rohana said:
“We obtain a warrant against anyone who has not served his or her jail sentence for more than two years. We also inform Interpol with the relevant details,”“Red Notices have also been issued to 56 non-LTTE operatives as well.”
