The Hon. Roshan Akmeemana
Hon. Roshan Akmeemana asked what measures the Ministry of Public Security would take regarding Civil Security Department personnel from the North Central and Eastern Provinces who are reassigned after the war to “special duties” in Colombo and other areas. He said such deployments, including sanitation work and duties at religious sites, create hardship because many personnel expected to serve near home, depend on farming, lack accommodation when transferred, and incur additional expenses while their fields are neglected.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, my first supplementary is this: Although now under the Ministry of Public Security, a large number of CSD personnel serve in the North Central and Eastern Provinces. Post-war, many have been called out of those areas, especially to the Western Province, for “special duties” that often include sanitation work or, based on political links, service at religious sites—even in the Central Province at certain locations—causing hardship. Many joined expecting to serve near where they live; most are farmers or have agriculture as secondary income. When sent to Colombo, they lack accommodation and bear extra expenses; their fields lie fallow. Under your Ministry, what steps will be taken regarding these special duties to alleviate this burden?
