The government would not guarantee the safety of the INGO and NGO workers including those who work with the UN agencies from Tuesday, the Defence Secretary Gotabhaya Rajapaksa, told the Observer Online.
He said that these agencies have been given time until tomorrow (29) to vacate Kilinochchi and Mullaithivu and the government hoped that all these workers would return to Vavuniya before the deadline.
"But we won't guarantee their safety after September 29. The unliberated areas are not safe for them as the security forces have intensified the offensives against the LTTE to reach Kilinochchi", he said.Rajapaksa, said that the security forces were confidently going ahead into the Tiger heartland, which is its administrative capital and the war against the LTTE would be intensified in the coming days as troops are attacking the terrorists from more fronts.
