The report of the presidential commission investigating cases of missing persons in Sri Lanka, headed by Maxwell Paranagama is ready to be given to the president, Ceylon Today reported.
Mr Paranagama told the paper that he had written to the president, Maithripala Sirisena for a date and time to present the report.
Stating that the commission had received 20,000 complaints from the North-East, he reportedly told the paper, "about 4,500 complaints of those 20,000 are duplicate complaints."
"From among the remaining 15,500 complaints, we held oral inquiries into 6,400 complaints by visiting the Northern and Eastern Provinces. Another 750 complaints were handed over to the investigating team so that inquiries could be continued. The investigating team in fact had only 9 months to inquire into those complaints."
