2020 general election: Special unit to regulate propaganda displays

30 Jun 2020

By Sarah Hannan The Police are to conduct special operations on a daily basis, to observe and take down any political propaganda materials such as adverts, posters, and cutouts displayed in public spaces in violation of the election campaigning regulations. Acting Inspector General of Police (IGP) C.D. Wickramaratne issued directives to all police divisions instructing them to assign patrolling units and set up special roadblocks in order to closely monitor the movements of supporters tasked to put up such material. “Propaganda material such as cutouts, posters, (and) digital campaign trailer displays (LED screens) is not permitted to be set up on public highways or roadways. Only the candidate’s vehicle is permitted to display the party symbol and contestant number. If a supporter is seen displaying a sticker or poster on their vehicle (three-wheeler, bus, etc.), it will be taken down. The necessary directives have been issued to the DIGs (deputy inspector generals) of each police division,” Police Media Spokesman SSP Jaliya Senaratne told The Morning. The same rule will apply to display screens fixed in buses, taxis, and digital advertising hoardings as well, and the Police will ask the drivers or the digital agencies to remove such material.
