A special Police operation will be carried out today to monitor customer-centric businesses, including supermarkets and restaurants in the Western Province (WP).

Police Spokesman, Deputy Inspector General (DIG) Ajith Rohana said the operation is being conducted to monitor if the businesses are adhering to the Quarantine Law and relevant health guidelines.

He said Police teams have been deployed to inspect supermarkets, restaurants, hotels, and other customer-centric businesses in the province.
