Police spokesman, Ranjith Gunasekara, has said the government has no intention of sending back civilians, who have entered Colombo to escape from the north and east conflict, nation.lk reports. He pointed out that most of the time the majority of the civilians in the Northern and Eastern Provinces preferred to move into safer areas within the district, rather than moving to Colombo due to various reasons, adding, "So we would not have to deal with a vast crowd. However, we have already established several police stations in the concerned areas and we would be conducting numerous social services for the benefit of those people." However, Defense Secretary, Gotabhaya Rajapakse, commenting on the substantial influx of people from the eastern areas, has declared that anyone remaining in Colombo without a proper reason should head back to the north and east, since it will create a threat to the security situation. Within the month of August alone, about 6950 people have arrived in the Colombo Police Division. These people have found accommodation in lodges, houses and various other places.

On September 16, four persons were injured when a suspected parcel bomb exploded inside a Colombo Transport Bus at Horton Place roundabout in Colombo, reports Daily News. "The bomb exploded at 1.50 p.m. a few minutes after the last passenger was evacuated from the bus (NA-3656) and the Police were waiting for the bomb disposal unit," driver Thilakasiri said. The bus, plying from Mattakkuliya to Moratuwa and carrying around 60 passengers, was extensively damaged. "This is definitely a desperate attempt by the LTTE to explode a bomb inside a bus to and to inflict casualties to the civilians so that they can show to the world that Colombo is not safe. But we should commend the timely action of the passengers, the conductor and the driver of the bus for their vigilance about unattended parcels at this decisive period," Military spokesman Brigadier Udaya Nanayakkara told Daily News.
