Army camps in the North-East will not be dismantled as per the Northern Provincial Council Chief Minister’s demands reiterated the Sri Lankan government last week.
Commenting on CV Wigneswaran’s demands for the dismantling of military installations in the North-East, Sri Lanka’s Media Minister said that the camps would not be dismantled just because the Northern Province was calling for such action, reports the Island.
Keheliya Rambukwelle told a press conference in Colombo that the security in the North-East would only be reduced when the government had carried out its own analysis and was happy with the environment.
“The Military authorities know the ground realities and the extent of security that has to be maintained As stressed by the President himself security would be relaxed gradually and over a period of time,” said the Minister.
