New barracks for sergeants and female officers at Police Station Chunnakam

When considering the ethnic harmony among nationalities, a notable service is being extended by both Tamil- and Sinhala-speaking police officers on duty in the North Province.

Since it is critical for the officers to be in a good mental state for performing their duties efficiently, the senior police officers in charge of the Northern Province, led by the Senior Deputy Inspector General of Police in charge of the Northern Province, Mr. Tilak C. A. Dhanapala, are making a deliberate attempt to improve the infrastructure facilities at every police station in that province.

Accordingly, the construction of police quarters and a fully furnished mess for all officers has begun, as there were no separate accommodation facilities for the women police constables and police sergeants who have come to serve at Police Station Chunnakam from distant locations, leaving them separated from their loved ones.

The quarters and the mess, which were fully completed within a short period of time, were ceremonially declared open on the morning of 26.09.2025 under the leadership of Senior DIG in charge of the Northern Province, Mr. Tilak C.A. Dhanapala, and with the participation of senior officers including the Deputy Inspector General of Police in charge of the Jaffna Range, Mr. G. H. Marapana, and the Officer in charge of the Jaffna Police Division, Mr. J. P. S. Jayamaha.
