The Ministry has decided to arrest all of them without providing amnesty to surrender and resign in future.
The Ministry has come to this stern decision since police investigations reveal that these deserters are linked to number of crimes in the country.
Sri Lanka police this week killed seven robbers who attacked and killed two police officers and injured several more when police charged the gang fleeing after looting a jewelry shop in Warakapola. Six of the seven robbers were identified as Army deserters.
