The Government on the request made by the District Secretaries is continuing the supply of food items and medicine to the civilians in these two districts without any hindrance. As the Government mechanism is operating in these two districts, the Government is always committed to release sufficient food stocks to cater to the civilian needs, the Minister told the weekly Cabinet press briefing yesterday.

At present the Government has successfully completed resettlement activities in several liberated areas such as Muttur and Vakarai. The Government will complete resettlement in several liberated areas once the UN give its assurance that the demining activities are fully completed in those areas.

The Minister said as the Government is conducting its administrative service in the North, it has distributed food in Mullaitivu and Kilinochchi with the assistance of state employees. The sole intention of the Government is to restore democracy in the North by creating an environment to the people to live in peace and harmony.
