Kilinochchi Troops Complete Two More Nation-Building Projects

Sri Lanka Army-built two new school buildings in the Waddakachchi Primary School and the Murukanantha Primary School premises in Kilinochchi were vested in students on Thursday (12) during simple ceremonies, held at respective locations.

11 Corps of Engineer Services, 6 Sri Lanka Sinha Regiment and 14 Sri Lanka National Guard troops of the Security Forces - Kilinochchi at the request of the Presidential Secretariat undertook the task of constructing those new buildings after the two previous buildings in both schools were completely destroyed in the most recent floods that swept the area.
