The
Official Languages Department said yesterday the shortage of trained Tamil
personnel would be filled up by June with new recruits that are undergoing
a one year training for posts such as translators, stenographers and
typists in the public service. The
department had recruited a batch of 800 in May last year to meet the
shortage. "These
recruits are under going a one year training at present and they would be
attacked to the necessary places after June this year," V.P.
Gunawardane, Assistant Commissioner of the Official Languages Department
said. He also
stated that although the department did not lack staff many of the
government departments were short of Tamil translators, stenographers and
typists. TULF
Batticaloa district parliamentarian Joseph Pararajasingham had commented
yesterday on the lack of proper implementation of the government
declaration of Tamil language as an official language of the country
through the 13th Amendment to the Constitution. He stated
on the lack of inefficiency emerging from the shortage of Tamil
translators in various government departments. However, government officials stated that the new Tamil trainees would fill the shortage gap in the future erupting from the public service.
