Due to bomb attacks on
Easter Sunday, April 21, that killed more than 250 people and wounded at least
500 in Sri Lankan churches and hotels, the country's president, Maithripala
Sirisena, has banned wearing of burqas.
The decision was said to
have been taken to support the on-going security and help the armed forces to
easily identify the the identity of any wanted perpetrators, CNN reports.
Legit.ng gathers that the
ban goes into effect on Monday, April 29.
The press release read:
"President Maithripala Sirisena took this decision to further support the
ongoing security and help the armed forces to easily identify the identity of
any wanted perpetrators."
A burqa, which is worn by
Muslim women, is a garment that covers the entire body, with mesh over the
eyes.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng
previously reported that Catholic churches in Sri Lanka put all public services
on suspension over security fears as whereabouts of several suspects remain
unknown over the Easter terror attacks.
A senior Catholic priest
said all the churches would be closed on the advice of the security forces in
the country.
While private services for
burials would be conducted, no public mass would hold until further notice and
as advised by the security agencies.
Security outfits in the
country recently made more arrest of suspects connected with the suicide
bombings that claimed 359 lives as pressure mount on the government over its
earlier intelligence failure.
The president of the
country, Maithripala Sirisena, asked the police chief and defence ministry head
to step down, but neither has done so.
Security forces have also
been using the new powers granted them to make more arrests as more than 90
suspects was apprehended.
Brigadier Sumith Atapatty
said that the army in the country had increased its officials to 6,300 as the
navy and air force also upped their personnel to 2,000.
