Commander of the Army, Lieutenant General Jagath Jayasuriya, now in Anuradhapura paid a surprise visit to the newly opened ‘Abimansala’ (Wellness Resort) Friday (19) afternoon, just a few hours before the inaugural opening of the Army’s ‘Searchlight Tattoo’ at Anuradhapura public grounds and freely interacted with resident dependent War Heroes.
The state-of-the art, ‘Abimansala’ on the banks of the ancient Nuwara Wewa in Anuradhapura, exclusively designed to house dependent Army War Heroes for the rest of their life-span, was ceremonially vested in disable warriors by His Excellency, the President Mahinda Rajapaksa on July 26, this year, on the invitation of the Commander of the Army, Lieutenant General Jagath Jayasuriya.
During Lieutenant General Jagath Jayasuiya’s lay-over in ‘Abimansala’, he managed to directly talk to almost all the permanently disable War Heroes residing there and inquired into their well-being and grievances, if any. His fatherly interaction with those inmates further questioned about the new abode and its surroundings, facilities, food and lodging, therapy, administration and suchlike and further wanted to receive a fair feedback in return. Afterwards, the Commander in the company of the Commandant at ‘Abimansala’ went round the premises and saw for himself various units in the complex in order to have a first-hand experience. Before his exit from the premises, the Commander gave away gift parcels to the inmates and expressed his happiness and a sigh of contentment on the conduct of routine functions in the resort. He also highlighted the importance of maintaining its status-quo. Major General A.K.S. Perera, Commander, Security Forces Headquarters, Wanni was also associated with the visit.
Equipped with the best of most modern technology that suit physical and psychological needs of about 52 disable War Heroes whose untiring battlefield sacrifices, saw an end to the country’s three-decade long terrorism, the mega ‘Abimansala’ complex at Anuradhapura, serves a fitting tribute to the gallantry of disable War Heroes.
The Army’s, ‘Brave Hearts’ theme fund-raiser, vigorously executed by the Seva Vanitha Army Branch (SVAB), presided by Mrs Manjulika Jayasuriya, brought home necessary resources for its completion.
