The equipment purchased with funds allocated by the Ministry of Eastern Development, comprising sewing machines, sprayers, fishing nets, and mammoties were distributed among needy people in Trincomalee district by the district MP K.M. Thawfeek (SLMC) at the office of the Deputy Director, Planning at the Kachcheri. These items were distributed among Sinhalese, Tamils and Muslims.

The items distributed included 55 sewing machines, 160 agrochemical sprayers, 160 pieces of fishing nets, and 250 mammoties. The sewing machines were given to unemployed young women and the other items were distributed among farmers and fishermen.

Thawfeek addressing the people, said the Sri Lanka Muslim Congress will fully support the peace process as leader of the SLMC Minister Rauff Hakeem has assured. Although there are differences of opinion among certain sections all these problems will end soon.

At this moment what is more important is to help improve the economic conditions of the poor suffering people.
