Security Force Headquarters-Mullaitivu (SFHQ-MLT) coordinated and distributed artificial limbs to 48 war-affected civilians at Mullivaikkal School.
The initiative was sponsored by Kandy-based Centre for the Handicapped. SFHQ-MLT undertook a similar project in July, in which they distributed 25 artificial limbs.
Major General Dampath Fernando, SFHQ-MLT personnel, sponsors, community leaders and civilians were present at the distribution ceremony.
An official army website reported the donation "could be considered as a gesture of humanity, reconciliation and goodwill" by the Sri Lankan security forces.
