The Inspector General of Police (IGP) and the Director of the Terrorism Investigation Division (TID) jointly gave an undertaking to the Appeal Court, ensuring swift action under the Criminal Procedure Code against those attempting to commemorate the LTTE's heroes on November 26. The date coincides with the birthday of the slain LTTE leader Velupillai Prabhakaran.

The undertaking was presented as a proactive measure to prevent the commemoration, a move that has sparked concerns and debates surrounding national security and public order. The LTTE (Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam) was a militant organization that sought an independent Tamil state in Sri Lanka and was officially banned as a terrorist group.

Authorities have been on high alert in recent weeks, anticipating gatherings or events that could glorify the LTTE and its leaders.
