Ex-cadres reintegration accelerated

Reintegration of former LTTE cadres is accelerated under the Government’s initiative to re-unite them with their relations.

Accordingly, 78 rehabilitated ex-LTTE cadres were reintegrated to society on Sunday (Jan. 22) after successful completion of their rehabilitation programme.

Also, action has been taken to reintegrate another batch of ex-cadres on February 08, parallel to the ‘Deyata Kirula’ programme.

According to the Department of Rehabilitation, more than 10, 000 ex-LTTE cadres out of 11, 984 have been rehabilitated and reintegrated into the society so far.

Furthermore, measures have been undertaken to release the remaining, less than 1000 ex-cadres undergoing rehabilitation soon.
