(Lanka-e-News- 20.April.2016, 11.45PM) Poojith Senadhibandara Jayasundara was today (20) appointed as the 34 th IGP of the Sri Lanka Democratic Socialist Republic by president Maithripala Sirisena on the reommendation of the Constitutonal Council (CC). The new IGP today took over duties officially at the auspicious time 4.00 p.m. at the Police headquarters.
He is scheduled to offically address his officers on Friday the 22 nd , after which he is preparing to hold a media briefing .
In protest against the appointment of Poojith as the new IGP , his opponents filed 1536 petitions accusing him , and sent 410 e mail messages to those responsible . These accusations notwithstanding , Poojith was a popular character among officers of all rungs and was also a popular lecturer within the police. For a long time he had been building a friendly image among the media personnel too, and was never tainted by human rights violations and had a strong inclination to develop his image .
Poojith Senadhibandara Jayasundara was born on 15 th March 1960 in Kurunegala ,and is an old boy of Dharmaraja College , Kandy. He is a B.Com. special graduate of the Sri Jayawardenapura University.
The new IGP Poojith Jayasundara has a great responsibility on his shoulders to create a new society that is law abiding, in a country where class difference , religious animosity , political opportunism , corruption and drug menace are entrenched and inextricably interwoven in the society , he must decide in his future journey whether he shall be the victor or the vanquished in his efforts .
Like how Lanka e news wished well all the IGPs before when they commenced their duties , we wish the new IGP Poojith Jayasundara too all the best while hoping that Poojith Jayasundara will have the courage, daring and vision to achieve his goals in his mission and challenges .

lots of grammatical & spelling errors....not to mention some glaring factual errors on most of your articles....The New IGP studied at Dharmaraja College....Not Dharmapala!...plus His name too is misspelled.....

I am a keen fan of Lanka e news .English and presentation are excellent when compared with other sites . Mistakes do occur in spelling occasionally in any publication.
