Defence Secretary, General (Rtd) Shantha Kottegoda urged the public to approach the security authorities immediately on any information related to a security threat without sharing it on social media.
&Whether the information is false or correct we will investigate them.
But if the public share such information on social media or by any other means it would only cause panic and unrest& Kottegoda told the media after calling on the Mahanayaka Thera of the Malwatte and Asgiriya Chapters in Kandy yesterday.
