Sri Lanka Update | Current Situation in Sri Lanka 26/04/2019

Colombo, 26/04/2019, 15:30 hours (Sri Lanka Time)

Dear Friends and Partners,

There continues to be a heightened security presence Island-wide to further ensure the safety and security of the general public.

According to Airport and Aviation Services, only airline passengers can enter the Bandaranaike International Airport (BIA) departure terminal. Therefore, it is still recommended to arrive at the airport 4 hours prior to departure to avoid delays due to heightened security measures.

The Sri Lanka Police has now released the names and photographs of several suspects wanted in connection with the attacks and is seeking public support in order to apprehend the remaining suspects and are confident they will be able to do so soon. The security forces are continuing to apprehend more suspects

As we reported yesterday, all clients who are already in the country are continuing their programs as usual and all sites are completely open as normal.

It is expected the precautionary police curfew that was in place over the last several days from 10 pm to 4 am will also be in place tonight till very early tomorrow morning.

We are continually closely monitoring the situation and if there is any reason to be concerned, we will of course alert you immediately.

Thank you once again for all your support in these trying times!
