 An official from a leading NGO said on the condition on the anonymity that owing to the military checkings, the activities of these organisations have been hampered in both the north and east. However, an official attached to the UN office in Colombo pointed out that the security forces were very particular about carrying out checking when there were local aid workers travelling in the vehicles.
“Local aid workers are the victims of these thorough checks Meanwhile, development work continued to be hampered in the north, following restrictions imposed by the government on transporting certain goods to Vavuniya and Kilinochchi.
An official from a leading aid agency said on anonymity that it was very difficult to work in Vavuniya and Kilinochchi, as they did not have fuel for their vehicles and as a result, they were unable to transport necessary goods. He also said that the area did not have electricity generators.
“Our projects are based on humanitarian work and it is very difficult to commence our work when the government imposes restrictions on fuel products and other essential items such as cement,” he stressed.
