President Maithripala Sirisena has ordered not to close roads for VIP movements.
The President’s Media Division said that the order had been issued by the President to the Police and security forces.
The public in Colombo recently expressed their anger after being forced to stop for VIP movements by honking their vehicle horns.
Videos circulating on social media showed drivers honking their horns in at least two locations in Colombo.
During the war it was routine for roads to be closed for VIP movements.
However the routine was relaxed after the current Government took office.
Following the Easter Sunday attacks some roads near VIP houses and offices have now been closed and roads are also closed for some VIP vehicle movements.
