Rehabilitated LTTE cadres give tearful farewell to departing officer

News

The Civil Security Department's (CSD) Commanding Officer in Mullaitivu, Kilinochchi and Jaffna, Colonel Rathnapriya Bandu was given an emotional send-off yesterday (11) by area residents and rehabilitated former LTTE cadres after he was transferred to Vishwamadu. 

Colonel Bandu had been the CSD's Commanding Officer in these areas for the past five and a half years and had initiated a programme which recruited rehabilitated former LTTE cadres into the CSD and integrated them back to society. 

A farewell for the departing officer was organized at the Kilinochchi cooperative premises. Many areas residents and former LTTE members were seen in tears on the occasion, as they paid an emotional farewell to Colonel Bandu.
