by Naalir Jamaldeen

The 100-day program launched by the Government has provided various concessions to the people while improving the rural economy. We hope that the unemployment problem in the district would be solved by the Government, a cross section of people in Jaffna told the Sunday observer.

They said that they are confident that the new Government would find a solution to the people’s problems.

The interim budget is a boon to people who live below the poverty line and the middle class too. The prices of essential commodities have been reduced and this in turn will reduce the people’s expenses they said.

People in the North and the East voted for the new Government as they knew it will do more for the country, said M Wasanthakumar of the Jaffna Periyakada market.

People in the North and the East helped effect a change in the country. The national problem must be solved, he said.

“The country faced various problems. We are confident that the Government will take steps in this regard to resolve the problems of Tamils. We hope that the majority of people in this country will extend their support to the new Government”, they said.
