The Media
Centre for National Security (MCNS) was established
for the specific purpose of disseminating all
national security and defence-related information
and data to the Media and the public from one
co-coordinated centre.
MCNS, the brainchild
of President Mahinda Rajapaksa comes within the
purview of Defence Spokesman for the Government
and Secretary, Ministry of Defence, is administered
by the Director General of the MCNS. Media coordinators
of all three Armed Forces, Police & Special
Task Force, attached to the Joint Operations Headquarters
(JOH), liaise with field formations and work round
the clock to ensure speedy collection and dissemination
of information.
The MCNS,
as the sole state authority to distribute national
security and defence-related Media releases, data,
statistics, visuals and other information to the
public, produces special dossiers, audio-video
clips and various documentaries.
