Lankan capital to be under tight security for CHOGM

Senior deputy inspector general, Anura Senanayake said that the city will remain open for traffic as normal and no roads will remain shut during the summit.  

However, some of the roads leading to the CHOGM venues and the routes that participating leaders would take might experience intermittent closures as appropriate.  

Education authorities today announced that some 39 schools in the city would be shut from tomorrow in view of the summit.

The move is expected to ease traffic management plans, police said.

The city has undergone a major facelift with newly carpeted roads and spruced up environs.
