Agro - psycho relief for tsunami victims
The Western Province Department of Agriculture has launched agricultural and psychologically-based strategies to mitigate mental and physical drawbacks of tsunami victims.

In a statement it said this course of action aims to facilitate the processes of self development of different individuals to become involved with agricultural activities for their long terms benefits. The primary focus is placed on the coastal belt starting from Bentota to the Negombo lagoon. This effort is not restricted to these areas alone but also available to the needs of the province in specific and the nation in general wherever appropriate.

Information with regard to the above agro-psycho relief activities could be obtained from the Deputy Provincial Directors of Agriculture (Extension) Kalutara, Colombo and Gampaha, and from the Assistant Provincial Directors of Agriculture (training) Horana, Homagama, Walpita and Ambepussa.
