India provides more humanitarian assistance

India provides more assistance to meet the humanitarian needs of the civilian population in the North experiencing hardships due to terrorist activities.

India has decided to provide a second installment of assistance worth 40 million rupees. Accordingly, visiting Indian Foreign Secretary Shivshankar Menon handed over a consignment of medicine to Senior Presidential Advisor and Parliamentarian Basil Rajapaksa at a simple ceremony today. India, as a goodwill gesture agreed to send humanitarian assistance to the Northern civilians in October last year. Its first consignment of approximately 1700 funds containing food, clothing and personal hygiene items has already been distributed to those in need with assistance via the Sri Lankan Government.
