New Home to be Built for Needy Family in Puleliya

A helpless family in the rural Puleliya village in the Medawachchiya Divisional Secretariat will be the heir to a new house soon, thanks to the generosity, provided by Bambalapitiya Raja Jewellers (Pvt) Ltd due to coordination made to this purpose by the 21 Division of the Security Force Headquarters - Wanni.

Under the supervision of Brigadier Kumar Jayapathirana, General Officer Commanding, 21 Division, 5 (Volunteer) Sri Lanka Light Infantry and 2 Mechanized Infantry Regiment troops of the 213 Brigade, commanded by Brigadier Manoj Lamahewa, have undertaken the construction task to be completed before the forthcoming Sinhala and Hindu New Year, following sponsorship extended by the said business venture in Colombo.

The corner-stone for the construction was laid on Tuesday (15) at the auspicious minute in the presence of the deserving family. Mr Athula Eliyapura, Chairman/Managing Director of Raja Jewellers (Pvt) Ltd has generously pledged the financial support for the humanitarian project, undertaken by the troops in the Wanni after the family's miserable plight was brought to their notice.

Brigadier Sena Waduge, Brigadier General Staff at the SFHQ-W, 212 and 213 Brigade Commanders, Representatives of Raja Jewellers (Pvt) Ltd, several Senior Officers and Other Ranks attended the foundation-laying ceremony on the construction site. Sportswear Design | Autres
