| President Anura Kumara Dissanayake was being welcomed with traditional Tamil - Aalathi |
President Anura Kumara Dissanayake today said that the government is committed to finding the truth with regard to enforced disappeared persons in Northern province as much as it is to protect cultural, social and linguistic rights of the Tamil speaking people.
Speaking at Puthukkudiyiruppu, Mullaithivu today as part of his official visit to the North, President Dissanayake said that government has allocated resources to rebuild the former war torn region and its economy through its budget. "Our motive is to create ethnic harmony and national unity. All of us should work for that,"
Coinciding with World Coconut Day, the President was speaking at the launch of the “Ratama Saru Karai Nirathuru – Kapthuru Saviya” Northern Coconut Triangle project this morning in Puthukudiyiruppu.
The programme, which begins with the objective of cultivating 16,000 acres of coconut in the Northern Province by 2025, is expected to expand to 50,000 acres by 2027.
Alongside this initiative, the first model coconut garden in the North will be launched in Palai under the patronage of the President. The President will also inaugurate a coconut-based products exhibition organized by the Coconut Development Authority, held near Puthukkudiyiruppu Central College.
