Tamil National Alliance (TNA) Parliamentarians participated at the Jaffna District Development Council meeting, for the first time, in Jaffna yesterday. The meeting was chaired by Economic Development Minister and Chairman of the Presidential Task Force for Northern Province, Basil Rajapaksa.

Post-conflict development activities in the North were discussed in detail at the meeting.

Minister Rajapaksa told the meeting that priority would be given for resettlement of IDPs and the development of infrastructure in the battle- torn areas.

The TNA Parliamentarias who participated at the meeting insisted that resettlement should be expedited before the North-East monsoon sets in later this year
