The Hon. Ananda Wijepala
The Minister stated that the Civil Security Department had recently been brought under the Ministry of Public Security and that around 5,000 CSD personnel seconded to the Department of Wildlife Conservation for human-elephant conflict mitigation were being released, with 3,975 already returned. He said most personnel are now being assigned near their home districts, specific cases raised by the Member would be re-examined, and future deployments would follow a proper system prioritizing nearest duty stations.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Member, only last week the Civil Security Department was brought under the Ministry of Public Security. We are in the process of releasing about 5,000 CSD personnel who had been seconded to the Department of Wildlife Conservation for mitigation of human-elephant conflict; already 3,975 have been released back from Wildlife to the CSD. Regarding your point, most are now assigned close to their districts. I will re-examine specific cases you raised. While earlier they were used for various tasks, we are gradually withdrawing them and deploying under a proper system. We will also prioritize assigning them to the nearest duty stations. I will continue to look into this.
