3 officials caught stealing relief goods
Displaced
people housed at Rahula Vidyalaya in Matara finally caught the thieves
who had been stealing the relief goods intended for them. There are
around 1,800 persons taking shelter there.
Just after midnight yesterday (03), they captured the thieves – the
three state officials in charge of the place – along with some of the
stolen goods. They were later handed over to Matara police.
This morning, police, divisional secretariat and social services
officials went to the school, broke the padlock and opened a room where
bottled water, mats, towels, mattresses and other items were stored and
distributed them to the people.
These displaced people have complained that they were not getting the
relief items intended for them, and that the three officials had
prohibited them from venturing out of the classrooms where they spent
the nights after midnight.
The police, divisional secretariat and social services officials are investigating the three suspects.
