UPDATE: Kosgama Students Educated on ‘Exploded & Unexploded Devices' by Army Troops

Teams of Army Engineers, committed to bring normalcy to affected Kosgama-Salawa areas on the sidelines of their reconstruction work in progress, went to  Salawa Sumedha Maha Vidyalaya, Tamil Maha Vidyalaya, Puwakpitiya and St John’s Bosco Vidyalaya, Kaluaggala on the directions of the Commander of the Army, Lieutenant General Crishanthe De Silva and the Commander, Engineer Brigade, Brigadier S.J.M.A.R Senevirathna this morning (13) and educated students on ‘Exploded and Unexploded Devices' since children could be vulnerable to such dangers without their knowledge.

During the programme, several demonstrations, practical sessions, awareness lectures were conducted and precautionary measures taken up for discussion since residents know only a little about those explosives. Children, principals and teachers too listened to those lectures with rapt attention.
