The All Ceylon Hindu Congress (Federation of Hindu Religious Associations and Trust in Sri Lanka) has lauded President Mahinda Rajapaksa for expediting the resettlement process of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) and providing facilities for the IDPs who have been already resettled in their original places and opening the A-9 highway.

General Secretary of the All Ceylon Hindu Congress (ACHC) Kandiah Neelakandan told the Sunday Observer that the All Ceylon Hindu Congress, the Supreme body of Hindu religious bodies in the island, was extremely delighted over the speedy action taken by President Rajapaksa to resettle the IDPs from the IDP centres in the Wanni. “We are acutely aware of the measures taken by the Government already to resettle the IDPs in their original places.

The Government is also obliged to the request made by the All Ceylon Hindu Congress to resettle the Hindu priests in the areas in the Wanni”. While expediting the process to resettle the IDPs, the All Ceylon Hindu Congress appreciates the timely moves taken by the Government to provide them with educational facilities in Colombo”, Neelakandan said.
