The government has decided to give an opportunity for the rehabilitated ex-LTTE carders to engage in development activities in the North and the East.

This was revealed by the Rehabilitation and Prison Reforms Minister Chandrasiri Gajadeera at a ceremony held to day to hand over 438 ex-LTTE cadres, who have completed the rehabilitation process, to their families.
