“The devastation that has occurred in the North and the East, Mr. Speaker, consequent to the war over a long period of time, is extensive – unbelievably extensive. Tens of thousands of families have been rendered destitute. They have lost all their possessions, their houses, their livelihood; all means of such livelihood, all their equipment – agricultural equipment, fishing equipment, livestock equipment. Some of them are unable to return to their residential and occupational lands. Very much needs to be done. The Hon. Minister of Finance has allocated a sum or Rs. 14,000 million for this purpose ” says TNA leader and the leader of the opposition R. Samapanthan.
