Sri Lankan Prime Minister D.M. Jayaratne on Friday opened two new buildings for two key police stations in Vanni, which have been functioning the buildings of LTTE-run administration, at Maangku'lam and Ki'linochchi.



Sri Lanka’s Inspector General of Police, Mahinda Balasuriya, Anandasangaree of TULF, Chief Secretary of the Northern Provincial Council, Director of Sri Lankan Tea Board and the GA of Ki'linochchi district took part in the event.

The security in the town was tightened during the opening ceremonies.

While infrastructure facilities to areas where uprooted people are resettled are lacking, Colombo has been showing keen interest in opening police stations, government secretariats and constructing new Buddhist Vihares in Tamil dominated Vanni region.
