Government prepared to rehabilitate LTTE cadres who surrender
31.3.2008

Army Spokesman Brigadier Udaya Nanayakkara addressing the media in Colombo this morning (31), said that the ministry would not hesitate to rehabilitate and find a means of livelihood to those LTTE cadres who surrendered themselves to the forces and chose to give up terrorism.


"It has become difficult to cope up with the demand as already 48 are undergoing vocational training; 11 have completed training and are to be found foreign employment," he said.

Minister Rambukwella mentioned that he was negotiating with foreign countries to make this programme a success.

According to the Minister there had been a confrontation between the forces and LTTE cadres between 9.30 and 11 am today about 10km from Mullativu town which caused damage to the run-away and also cleared the area off Vauvnia-Periyapandiverichan.

The forces also gained victories in Mannar.

At the same time many have left unprotected areas particularly around Delft and moved over to protected areas. Already about 230 have come over, Brigadier Nanayakkara said.
