Nearly 250 students and teachers and over 100 adults took part in two separate mine awareness programmes, organized by the 10 Field Sri Lanka Engineers of the Sri Lanka Army early this month.
Educating the children and villagers of respective areas and prevention of hazardous incidents occurred due to explosion of mines and UXOs (Unexploded Explosive Ordnance) was the purpose of those programmes.
The first was organized on 04 Annual at Iyakkachchi and the second was at Nagarkovil with assistance of the Halo Trust. Participants were educated to keep the closest security authority informed if any such item was sighted without trying to tamper with it.
Troops are continuously organizing these programmes in affected areas and get positive responses from the civilians in respective areas.
