| NCP CM assures Vakarai victims of needs by Senarath Bandara Kulasekara in Manampitiya North Central Province Chief Minister Berty Premalal Dissanayake visited tidal wave victims from the LTTE controlled Vakarai area housed at the Manampitiya Tamil Maha Vidyalaya to look into their needs and made arrangements to provide uninterrupted supplies of dry food rations to them. Most of the victims thanked the Chief Minister for his concern regarding their welfare and told him that apart from a few meals supplied to them by some residents in the neighbourhood and the nearby police station, no one else came to their aid until the Chief Minister visited them. The refugees which included 13 children and 21 women among others describing their ordeal said the tidal wave was a novel experience to them. As the high waves surged forth the panic stricken people in their village ran further inland shouting in fear and as they reached the main road an on coming bus stopped and transported them to Manampitiya. |
