Former Tigers weep when colonel Ratnapriya Bandu bids farewell
The moment when Colonel Mr. Ratnapriya Bandu, Commanding Officer of the three districts Jaffna, Mullaitivu and Kilinochchi got a transfer yesterday after a service of five years and when he was bidding goodbye to members of LTTE who were rehabilitated indeed became a deep sensitive moment.
It was the public who served in areas such as Kilinochchi, Jaffna and Mullaitivu who shed tears on
this occasion after having left the LTTE movement. Mr. Ratnapriya in fact was someone who strived to build the lives of a large number of LTTE detainees during a period of five years. He had made to develop their lives on the right track by recruiting them to enlist in the civil security forces. It was incidentally he who organised the farewell event at Kilinochchi Co operative building.
