Govt committed to ensure safety of civilians - Defence spokesman

 
The Tamil community living in uncleared areas in the North are also Sri Lankans and the government is committed to ensure their safety said the defence spokesman Keheliya Rambukwella today.

"Relocation of INGOs was done with the interest of their own safety in order to prevent incidents like Muttur. It is the government's responsibility to ensure the safety of NGO staff wherever they function," the spoksman further said.

The spokesman also said that the government is taking measures to dispatch 800 metric tons of additional food stocks to North.
