Thirty ex-combatants have received appointments in the Sri Lanka Transport Board depots in Jaffna, Vavuniya, Killinochchi and Mullaittivu Districts, following successful completion of their rehabilitation and vocational training.
Letters of appointment were handed over during a ceremony held under the patronage of Parliamentarian and the Tharunyata Hetak Organization Chairman Namal Rajapaksa at the Kilinochchi District Secretariat recently.
Several other ex- combatants have also been recruited as drivers to the SLTB's Kondavil bus Depot in Jaffna. "We are helping ex-combatants return to society and re-integrate with their families," Parliamentarian Namal Rajapaksa has said with press.
"We try to transform the lives of these combatants through rehabilitation. There are major investments in the North. Those investors might employ them," said Parliamentarian Dilum Amunugama who is in-charge of the development of the transport sector in the North.
On the instructions of President Mahinda Rajapaksa newly elected young Parliamentarians have been assigned with specific duties in many areas like health, transport, highways, environment, agriculture, infrastructure, education, fishing and many other areas to be developed and using human and psychical resources in an effective way in the region towards development.
