New 55 Division GOC Begins Office

Brigadier K.N.S Kotuwegoda, the new General Officer Commanding (GOC), 55 Division of the Security Force Headquarters - Jaffna (SFHQ-J) assumed office as the 23rd GOC of the 55 Division Headquarters, Kaddaikadu, Jaffna on Friday (15).

A formal Guard Turnout greeted the new GOC at the entrance to the Headquarters before he inspected the parade, presented in his honour at the parade ground. The new GOC then added memories to the occasion by planting a mango sapling in the premises. A brief religious ceremony, graced by monks invoked blessings on the new appointment a few minutes later before the new GOC left his signature for a formal document to signify the acceptance of his new appointment.

An all rank tea arrangement in the premises afterwards enabled the new GOC to share a couple of views with attendees, including all Brigade Commanders and Commanding Officers.

He succeeded Major General Jayantha Gunarathna who was appointed as the General Officer Commanding, 58 Division.Sportswear free shipping | Air Jordan Release Dates 2020
