India would supply vehicles to be used by the Sri Lankan police under a grant, the Indian High Commission in Colombo said on Wednesday.

The project entails supply of at least 80 single cabs, spare parts and accessories to the police stations in Northern Province of Sri Lanka, which will address a vital requirement of Sri Lankan Police related to enhancing safety of citizens and maintenance of law and order, a release said.
