The Government yesterday decided to provide
telecommunication facilities to welfare
camps and villages in Vavuniya within 48
hours.
Addressing a media briefing at the
Presidential Secretariat, Disaster
Management and Human Rights Minister Mahinda
Samarasinghe said through this facility
civilians at the welfare centers would soon
be able to establish contacts with their
relatives in Sri Lanka and abroad.
A special section will be set up in every
camp where civilians could meet their
relatives and friends living outside the
camp, the Minister said.
“We put in place a new system through
which displaced families are identified and
arrangements are in place to expedite their
reunification”. Over 1,108 families were
reunited under this program and officials
have identified more than 100 such families
seeking reunification with their family
members.
