Rs. 3m to Vavuniya GA for dry ration welfare centres

Rs. 3m has been dispatched to the Government Agent Vavuniya for the purchase of dry rations for distribution at the welfare centres in Vavuniya, on the initiative of the Minister of Rehabilitation, Resettlement and Refugees Dr. Jayalath Jayawardena.

This is a sequel to complaints received by the Minister yesterday that dry rations to those in the Welfare Centres had not been issued in December 2001.

The Government Agent has been directed to procure dry rations in the open market and distribute them among the welfare centres.
