Minneriya ITC Gets New Facilities

The Infantry Training Centre (ITC) at Minneriya on Saturday (4) extended a warm welcome to the Commander of the Army, Lieutenant General Mahesh Senanayake when he arrived at the ITC in connection with several new openings at the invitation of Major General Suraj Bansajaya, Commandant, ITC.

Of the new structures, the Small Arms Weapon Gallery and the Support Weapon Gallery, the display of a wide range of weapons that had been used by the Army since its inception was one of the attractions that was opened by the visiting Commander of the Army at the ITC premises.

Afterwards, the Commander was invited to open the new Mess Building for Sergeants and the Club Building for Corporals, erected with the support of Army Engineers and ITC personnel.

After cutting a ribbon, the Commander invited a representative Warrant Officer and a Corporal of the Army to join the opening of both buildings in a gesture of his concern for them.

A few minutes before those openings, the visiting Commander of the Army inaugurated the new hall for Small Arms Simulator System, erected for students under training at the ITC. He closely inspected the systems inside the premises and had a look at the renovated ITC firing range in close proximity.
