Security Forces Assure Assistance To Civil Administration In Jaffna

NECESSITY TO MAINTAIN the continuous supply of essential items for the civilians in Jaffna was stressed during a fresh round of meeting of the Security Forces authorities and Senior Government Officials in Jaffna Sunday (20) morning.\r\n\r\nMajor General G.A. Chandrasiri, Commander Security Forces Headquarters – Jaffna (SFHQ – J), who presided the meeting assured all assistance to civil authorities by Jaffna Security Forces in carrying out their duties even amidst prevailing tense situation in the peninsula. \r\n\r\nThe majority of the general public in Jaffna were left helpless when LTTE’s dubious nature dragged the Security Forces into an armed conflict with terrorists a few days ago. Security Forces were compelled to declare local curfew in order to maintain law and order in Jaffna whilst ensuring the security of civilians and their property.\r\n\r\nJaffna District Secretary Mr. K. Ganesh, Senior State Officials of state and officials of private banks, Ceylon Electricity Board, Sri Lanka Telecom, Petroleum Cooperation and several other important agencies attended the meeting which unanimously agreed to facilitate the unhindered supply of essential items to Jaffna people.
