Struggling farmers in North neglected by state - TNA MP

The Sri Lankan government is not providing help for disadvantaged farmers in the North, TNA MP Selvam Adaikalanathan said in Parliament on Tuesday.

In addition to being affected by natural disasters, farmers in the North face several difficulties, including loan burdens and inflated resource costs.

Mr Adaikalanathan said that the government was not providing appropriate aid, especially in resettled areas in Vanni, where there have been no moves to instate facilities to improve Tamil livelihoods.
