Tsunami victims' demo at MC
BY SARATH Malalasekera
A GROUP of tsunami victims in the Hambantota Electorate demonstrated
opposite the Colombo Chief Magistrate's Court yesterday afternoon
demanding legal action against delays in providing rehabilitation
relief.
The demonstrators carried placards stating that funds from various
sources are lying in bank accounts while tsunami victims are languishing
in refugee camps under untold difficulties.
Attorney Sujeewa Senasinghe, UNP Kaduwela Organiser, handed over a
letter to the Attorney-General signed by UNP Deputy General Secretary
Tissa Attanayake yesterday.
The letter handed over to the Attorney-General by Senasinghe demanded
early action in connection with the inquiry into the 'Helping Hambantota
Tsunami Relief Fund'.
The demonstrators dispersed after handing over the letter to the
Attorney-General. |
