Two sub committees have also been established under the main committee in Ampara and Trincomalee. The Sub Committee for Ampara will operate from the Ampara District Secretariat and the Sub Committee in Trincomalee will operate from the Governor's Secretariat in Trincomalee. These committees are mandated to receive representations from the public and monitor the situation in the area on a regular basis and make recommendations to the relevant government and other authorities about action to be taken to safeguard peace, harmony and social stability among the members of various communities to prevent any recurrence of incidents leading to communal disharmony. Each Sub Committee comprises representatives of MPs, Government Agent of the district, DIG and SP of the area, representatives of the three services and five persons representing different members of the society in the said district. Any person, organisation or social group affected or aggrieved by any action on the part of one or more persons can make representations to the Sub Committee of the respective district and thereafter the said sub committee shall hold an inquiry into such information or complaint and liaise with the relevant government authority to take appropriate action so as to maintain communal harmony in the area.
