Military recruits Tamil youths to work in army farm



The Sri Lankan military recruited nineteen Tamil youths to work at an army run farm in the Vellamkulam region of Kilinochchi, reported the military's news site on Tuesday.



Four girls and fifteen boys have been recruited under the militarized civilians category, the army said.

Following the appointment of the new president, Maithripala Sirisena, and his promise of a new dawn for the island, calls for the military to leave the North-East and separate itself from civilian life have increased.
