“The Police will be in charge of exercising movement control in the area, with the help of the Armed Forces, Civil Defense Force and Rela personnel.
“All entry and exit points to and from the EMCO area will be closed, and movement of officers and guards on duty to and from the area will not be allowed either. It will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
