Sri Lanka's Ministry of Defence (MoD), on Wednesday, announced a new scheme that looks to benefit retired soldiers.
The MoD spokesperson, Brigadier Ruwan Wanigasooriya, addressing a weekly media brief, said that the extra benefits had been given to the retired soldiers after “considering the immense contribution and sacrifice they have made during the Humanitarian operation.”
The spokesperson added the military would also hold programmes to showcase their “military skills” around the island including the areas of Jaffna and Anuradhapura.
