Maldivian police to be stationed in Lanka

With the intention of preventing drug trafficking to Maldives its government is considering having police officers stationed in Sri Lanka and Maldives police commissioner Abdulla Riyaz has stressed on this need.

Haveeru, Riyaz pointed out that “foreigners are heavily involved in drug trafficking rings in the Maldives and the Maldivian police need to operate in neighboring countries in order to stop the influx of drugs into the country specially the drug trade takes place from India or Sri Lanka. I believe that in order to solve that, police need to be in India and Sri Lanka,”
