The chairman of the Office on Missing Persons (OMP) said its interim report would be submitted to the Sri Lankan president, Maithiripala Sirisena on September 5, the Daily Mirror reported.
The report, which is said to include recommendations to the government, was scheduled to be released at an event yesterday in Colombo to mark International Day of the Victims of Enforced Disappearances.
Earlier this week the OMP claimed about 20,000 people are missing since 1983, however said it was yet to finalise the figures.
The OMP has been deeply criticised by Tamil families of the disappeared for lacking independence and failing to take their views into consideration.
