Differently-abled war hero sets example

Differently-abled army soldier K V N A Premachandra is engaged in vehicular traffic controlling on a high way near a school from 7.00 am to 2.30 pm on five days of the week.

The exemplary war-hero, a father of three, 46, lives in Ranavirugama, Pangolla.

He serves as a traffic controller near the Ibbagamuwa Model School on the Kurunegala-Dambulla main road.

He has been doing this job for 11 years since 2000.

"I do that job voluntarily. I gain a mental satisfaction by doing this. My objective is to protect lives of children. The number of vehicles plying on the road is increasing day by day." he said.

He joined the Artillery Regiment of the Army in 1987. While he was serving in Welioya in 1996, he had got caught to a landmine and lost part of his leg below the knee.

"Police officers attached to the Gokarella police station, the staff of Ibbagamuwa Model School and parents extend their co-operation towards me," he said.
