rehabilitated have been given jobs at Tri Star Apparels in Ratmalana.
The first batch of these women 150 in number will be given permanent
employment at the Ratmalana garment factory today.

living allowances and overtime.
They will also get hostel accommodation at the Ratmalana factory with
food, life insurance cover, housing loans, medical facilities and other
allowances," Tri Star Chairman Kumar Devapura said. Tri Star Chairman

these displaced women find employment. Tri Star Group has also set up a
manufacturing plant in Trincomalee creating 1,000 job opportunities
there. Tri Star has agreed to recruit 1,200 IDPs to this factory. |
